Wandering Livestock
🐮🐮🐑 If you see livestock such as cows, sheep, alpacas or other farmed animals wandering on the road, first report it to the police. If the animals are causing an emergency, or will potentially cause an emergency, call 111. If the livestock do not present any immediate risk, you can call *555 from your mobile phone.
If the livestock are on a local road, contact the local council. If the livestock are on a state highway, contact Waka Kotahi on 0800 44 44 49 (0800 4 HIGHWAY).
If someone else’s livestock wander onto your private land, the council is not required to collect or impound the animals, but they may be able to help you locate the owners so the animals can be collected. You have the right to impound stock that wandered onto your property – you can take the animals to the nearest pound or keep them on your property for up to 48 hours before taking them to the pound.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
