Cat passing away on Swanson Rd 2/10/20
I'm writing this with a heavy heart in regards to a cat that has been put to sleep, on Swanson road, in the area between Knox Road and Church street. It happened late this afternoon (around 5:45pm)
I was driving towards Henderson on this road when I saw a long haired, black cat in a crucial state. It had been hit moments before by a passing vehicle, I can't pass blame as I didn't see the accident happen, I only saw the cat afterwards. I pulled over as soon as possible and 3 other people came to help. We made sure to do our best to help the cat remain calm and we put him to sleep in what was the most humane way we could with what we had. I must reiterate, without going into detail, this beautiful and cared for animal was in crucial condition and it was all that could be done.
If you know whose cat this is, please pass on this message. If it's your cat, please send me a personal message. Reach out to those in the area whose cat it may be.
I am very sorry for your loss and will not soon come to grips with what happened this afternoon. This was somebody's beloved animal and I would just like to let whoever the owner is know, this wasn't done heartlessly, we tried to do everything we could.
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
