Welcome Weta, Rats rack off!
Watch out rats of the North Shore! Your time is up, thanks to two industrious residents from Ryman Healthcare’s Bert Sutcliffe Village.
The Village Workshop dream team Norris and Dick have been busy rustling up rat traps for their local conservation group, Pest Free Kapātiki (PFK) who will distribute the traps in reserves in the Birkenhead area.
The duo have got the production down to a fine art, and are ready to start on the next batch after PFK’s Senior Restoration Advisor Fiona Smal recently dropped off another load of fence palings.
“We are incredibly grateful to Norris and Dick for making both the rat traps and the awesome wētā hotels,” she said.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
