Just wanted to say thank you to both team New Zealand and The Luna Rosa Italian Team for the exciting racing you have entertained alot of us with. Thank you team NZ for keeping the old mug here again and making us all proud to be Kiwi's and to help us take our minds away from the dreaded Covid -19 for a while. But I also want to say a big thank you to the Luna Rosa Team whom have lived and worked alongside us Kiwi's to help keep the cup event alive even through this pandemic is causing havoc back in their homeland your crew and support people would have been worried day by day for friends and family back home but then having to keep focused on trying to win the America's cup, you may have lost the race but you have won a place in kiwis hearts and we hope that you will come back next time to race us again. NZ would also like to thank all the other race teams that have spent months or even years here preparing for the America's cup challenge. You have laughed with us cried with us and gone through the pandemic with us we have supported you all and you have all supported us, we hope that you will support us again and return for the next America's cup challenge. We will welcome you all back with a smile.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
