TV 1 / TV3 News Fri 13th

John from East Invercargill

On TV 3 this morning they had a news item with Trump saying they are not going to attack Syria yet because they don't have proof then on TV 1 they have the French President , who incidentally has been talking of attacking Syria for several weeks, that he has absolute proof so is going too attack. On 3 they also had an English media report of the Syrian army taking control of what is presumed the last area of Ghouta ( Duma a suburb ) with the civilians ecstatic at their freedom from the rebels and pictures of the rebels and families getting on buses to leave the area after another agreement by both sides to stop fighting . Agreements like this have been going on for years. The rebels get amnesty and they stop fighting and moved to another rebel held area with their families .. This one from Ghouta ( Duma) was called "ethic cleansing by chlorine gas " and that the rebels were defeated by gas when clearly no rebels were harmed . This is the last group of several that have been defeated and removed from Ghouta ( 1,000's ) which they have held for a number of years. No wonder the civilians are happy at being free. This is not a one off , there are dozens of videos of the Syrian army taking back control of towns and cities and the civilians come out and kiss and hug Assads troops , give them their babies to hold and celebrate. Does anyone say anything about the thousands of civilians still buried under the rubble of Raqqa when America bombed it to rubble several months ago. No , no one cares about civilians killed by America as collateral damage as afterall they are doing it to give them democracy and freedom , Yeah right.. That's why they are supporting Saudi Arabia the least democratic country in the world bomb and starve to death 100's of thousands of civilians in Yemen. No use supplying bombs and weapons if you don't need to replace them.
UK now approves using force in Syria. I hope they get a bloody nose if they do.

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

How?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
