A Bigger picture about loss of wildlife

Jennifer from Waterloo

I feel for the birds but is not always the domestic cared for family loved cats, there are so many feral cats that have been abandoned by so called animal lovers. And the way some people try and cull the feral cats is call like air rifles etc. Just like down south where they encouraged young kids on a competition to kill feral cats and they killed a family member cat that was chipped and desexed. MOST ANIMAL LOVERS BRING THEIR CATS INSIDE AT NIGHT. Not just at 5pm but at least 7pm. Animals need fresh air and Vitamin D as much as humans.
Cats also keep the rat and mice infestation down and have co existed for years. Do we still have other predators and weasels out there other than cats.It is not the only reason our birds are dying we have poisons everyday sprayed on our trees and polluction. Also birds are eating our human food leftovers that are given or dropped. We as humans have taken alot of there habitats and food away from them. It is a cop out to blame one species, they obviously do not like this one and need to there homework and need to look at other factors

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
