Morgan Score
I am praying this does not start here but just in case please keep an eye on your fur babies. Is a page with a contest on who can shoot the most cats. Google it. The one in charge is Cameron Slater and is endorsed by Gareth Morgan. Is supposed to be to protect native birds. This witch hunt on cats needs to stop. Some are using this contest to shoot pets. They post the pictures on site to get points. Humans cause more damage to birds by destroying there habitate to build on and leaving rubbish around that kills them. This is not including amount see dead on the road. There was a petition to get these thugs charged and contest shut down but then petition vanished. Seems someone like Gareth Morgan with all his money can do what wants with no worry of prosecution. Think at the moment is up north but more cats reported being shot down here. I know what I will do if catch anyone shooting anything around here or abusing any animal. Is worth going to jail for if saves any animal.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
