Wandering Livestock

Kristi Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

🐮🐮🐑 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.

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

How?

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
