Lost child
Dear Neighbours and friends,
I am asking you to consider giving an hour or two of your time on Saturday to help us encourage people to look for a missing child.
The child could be anywhere. They are most certainly terrified, may be suffering horrific injuries, slowly starving to death, dying of thirst or buried alive along with their whanau, or even already dead. To make matters worse, we seem to be losing another child every 10 minutes now. These children come in all shapes and sizes, all ages from babies still in incubators, to young teenagers who have no hope for a future without pain and suffering.
We, who also come in all the shapes sizes, ages, genders and beliefs, have been meeting each Saturday to support people who are losing their children and families every day.
Please do come along and join us. There are more of us every week, but having you come along would mean a great deal to us and the families of the missing children.
We meet at : The Bridge of Remembrance (the bridge that has "Palestine" engraved in the stone)
When : Saturday
Time: 1 pm to 2pm
We may go for a heart warming stroll around the block afterwards. So do bring your families and friends, we would truly love to see you all. I can assure you that you will never regret coming along as you will immediately be accepted in the hearts of a family that transcends all borders, all nations.
Kia kaha e hoa arohanui,
Be strong for the children dear friends,
Respectfully yours,
Anton Wartmann
⚠️ 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 ❤️
