Bullying
I was bullied in Form 1 at primary school by my teacher,he bullied me in front of my classmates.Fortunately my Mum stood up for me and warned both him and the head master that she would take it further if it wasn’t stopped immediately.Unfortunately some of my classmates carried on when he stopped and this went on at High School also and I only got away from it when we moved to another city and I went to a different school.Incidentally I graduated Dux of my primary school after that teacher told me I wouldn’t amount to anything as I had the brains of the insect I was,I guess he underestimated insects.I am 75 now and I can still vividly recall those days,karma got the teacher he was eventually fired from teaching and died of cancer,the lead classmate is now reclusive living a solitary life as even his family will no longer tolerate his behaviour and he has no friends.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
