Beverley Park Rose Garden theft

Maeve from Linwood

Beware everyone if you see some cheap rose bunches for sale anywhere I just saw two white men (one with a matching blue tracksuit) cutting and bagging up every single rose in the Beverley Park Rose garden and hopping on some electric bikes and taking off.

A damn shame everyone isn’t able to enjoy the roses now and a few selfish people have taken it upon themselves to ruin it for everyone.

Do not buy any cheap roses you see for sale, they are stolen.

To those men, I hope your wives and mothers know their Mother’s Day roses are stolen. Shame on you for ruining it for the rest of us.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️
