Thank you for using Neighbourly
Hi neighbours,
What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.
This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?
Hey neighbours I only just recently found the property section here on neighbourly and noticed there is no rental option on there.

Coming from someone who has been living in a motel for months now I think it would be a really good idea to add one on .My partner and I don't use Facebook so we miss out on seeing alot of the private rentals on there so maybe adding a rental section on here could be an alternative to that? Anyone else agree?
We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
So roll up, roll up ... there's nothing like licking a scoop of ice cream during the summer. How much do you pay at home, and when you are away? What is the most expensive ice cream you've bought on holiday?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...

They are grabbed …… ridden….. roped and wrestled aggressively…. all .in the name of ……entertainment. These animals frequently sustain series injuries such as bruising and broken limbs
SOME Injuries have been so serious they has resulted in painful deaths
But its not just physical abuse that concerns me its also the fact that
in their natural environment these animals are quite wary and nervous Now …..the sounds sights and smells at the rodeo together with the physical abuse can result in extreme stress coupled with fear.
Horses and bulls are forced to buck by the use of a flank strap,and petrified baby calves are forced to burst out of a shute and are chased mercilessly before being roped and forced to the ground.
Sometimes these young animals are also ridden by children and these animals also have to to suffer the pain of a flank strap.
Calf riding i consider to be a despicable form cruelty . These baby animals are subjected to horrendous stress especially when the front legs of the young calf collapse under the childs weight
I believe rodeos are inherently cruel ! I took a look at
footage on the internet from the past season
Take a look for yourself on u tube ……….
You will see
Calves being wrenched off the ground by ropes around their necks .. Their necks are then twisted as they are thrown down by rodeo performers .
Bulls were seen struggling to climb out of the chutes …….One bull was grabbed by its ear and the inside of his nostril to force him back into a pen .
These animals showed severe signs of fear and distress
and what of the cowboys
Well what they say publicly often contradicts the reality of what actually happens
. Lets take electric prods as an example
… the president of the rodeo cowboys associations claimed
we are trying to make sure that we don’t use electric prods!!
REALLY
Try typing........".waikato rodeo february 17 into google this will bring up the
FOOTAGE TAKEN LAST YEAR
you will see
CATTLE Repeateatedly BEING SHOCKED AND TORMENTED BY ELECTRIC PRODS
mmmmm
HOW HARD are they TRYING
This season has seen mounting pressure against rodeos ….as participants continued to attempt to defend the indefensible
As public revulsion over rodeo cruelty intensifies rodeo promoters are repeatedly having to try defend their preferred entertainment .
What can you do to help ……….well
Sponsorship is important to rodeo
I typed into google search
rodeo sponsors in otago
there is quite a list ……………
THE WANAKA RODEO PROMOTERS HAVE PUBLISHED A LIST OF THEIR SPONSORS IN THEIR ADVERTISEMENT
I have chosen to boycott these businesses
maybe you may like to check it out and do the same
You may also like to support s a f e this is an organisation whose aim it is to see a total ban on rodeo
The former mayor of Auckland successfully lead the way to a complete ban on rodeos on council owned land in the Auckland
please lend your voice to instigate such a ban in
our Otago province because
IN MY OPINION RODEOS ARE NOTHING OTHER THAN A SPECTACLE OF ANIMAL ABUSE
