Poisoning of Cats in your Neighbourhood

Noeline from Roseneath

Hello Pet Lovers I have received the email below. If you sent a submission and indicated a wish to be heard here is the information. There has to be publicity about this. The application to poison cats very close to our homes has been submitted by a poisons manufacturer. It is a very cynical and purely a business decision. They want a reply by 19th Feb 2019. The very short time to confirm is further of concern!

......On 12/04/2018, the EPA had an application APP202879 -PredaSTOP for feral cats containing 410g/kg PAPP (Para-aminopropiophenone) opened for public submissions.

Please use below link to access information on the EPA website.
www.epa.govt.nz...

The EPA has tentatively scheduled the hearing between 1st April to 12th April for this application APP202879.

As a submitter who requested to be heard, can you please confirm that you still wish to appear at the hearing to speak to your submission the hearing will only be one or two days in total, out of this two week period and a confirmed date and time will be set soon.

Please reply to this email address by Monday 19th Feb 2019..........

Kind regards,

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and youโ€™re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:โ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codesโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never need to know your full credit card number โ€“ especially the CVC
โŒ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your deviceโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
