'LONGFIN EELS DUCK CREEK WHITBY'
Could Whitby Residents keep an eye out for the PROTECTION of our Longfin Eels.
Local teenagers have been seen hiding under the bridge with Fishing Rods and Hooking the Eels.
Other Culprits have been seen throwing Chicken Carcass and Sea Urchins into the creek and netting the eels.
Please take Photos of these culprits and forward onto PORIRUA CITY COUNCIL, POLICE AND PREDATOR FREE WHITBY.
The Council have removed a large number of HOOKS FROM THE EELS and are still working to remove more.
THE EXACT LOCATION IS THE BRIDGE NEXT TO SAMUEL MARSDEN COLLEGE.
THESE EELS ARE PROTECTED AND ENDANGERED SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT!
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!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
