Cows and Ticks in Totara Park
Hi
We recently visited Totara Park with our dog and came home with him covered in disgusting ticks. We have been walking in the park for 3 years and have never had this problem so we revisited the park a few days later and sure enough discovered more ticks.
The park itself is home to cows who spread these pests and have also apparently chased a few people recently. There are signs up in the park regarding the cows which have been defaced by residents with things such as "land destroyers" and "polluters".
The last time we visited, the cows had blocked the walking track so we tried to go around only to discover that the ground had been ruined to the point you couldn't walk for fear you'd break your ankle so we had to walk on the street, we may as well have walked around our own street.
Honestly i am getting a little bit sick of seeing the "farms in parks" scheme as it ruins the experience, spreads pests and is just another way to drum up money for the council all while ruining the parks that taxes go towards. When paying dog rego some of the money is said to go towards dog parks, but when you cant use them because cows are given preference under the guise of it being good for children, it really grinds my gears.
I have written the council regarding the ticks and of course, nothing back.
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences.
Thanks
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16% ... It is complicated
