Easter awareness
Please be on the lookout for pet rabbits roaming around, not all would be dumped some might just not have been secured properly and dug out of the hutch but well... it's that time of year again...
Rabbits are an easily 12yr+ commitment which when they're an impulse easter purchase can be far too long for some and misconception leads to others thinking they can survive in the wild when the domestic breeds have no knowledge of how to dig a proper shelter nor can they adapt to changes in weather, with us having falcons around, cat saliva is toxic to them, not to mention wandering dogs and cars, it's a bleak environment for a rabbit who is bred to be in a human home not out in the wild, even the suburban wild
Even if you don't find any wandering around it'd make a difference if you're able to donate to the Wellington Rabbit Rescue, I know money can be tight for many so the most powerful thing you can do is learn and spread awareness
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
