This will always be an emotive subject - with varying point of views - depending on what camp you stand in.
Do you agree we need owners taking better responsibility over their animals? and if so what do you think would be the best and most sensible way to prevent attacks on people, stock and other animals, poultry and wildlife?

“It is 15 years since Whangarei had the continuity of a second term mayor and deputy mayor,” Mayor Mai says.
“We have already proved a winning team, and I am delighted Sharon has once again agreed to become Deputy Mayor which gives us the opportunity to continue building on the traction, momentum and progress of previous terms of Council.”
Councillor Morgan was first elected to represent her Maungatapere/Mangakahia ward in 2007. She was elected unopposed in the following two elections, and re-elected in the 8 October 2016 election. Mayor Mai is also serving her fourth term on Council, two as a councillor for the Denby ward and now as Mayor for a second consecutive term.
Council is due to be sworn in at a public ceremony in Te Kotahitanga, the Exhibition Hall in Forum North, at 5.30pm on Tuesday 25 October. The ceremony constitutes the first full meeting of Council, which will be adjourned after the swearing in and reconvened in Council Chambers the next day.

Esther Tattersall: "I can highly recommend Lydia Griffiths! She has cared for my (3) kids many times. She is very attentive to their needs, and great at coaxing my more cautious ones to give new things a try."
I am always amazed at the good people who do so much to help those in need in our district.
