Trying to create new Facebook Page

Martina from Belmont

I have always lived in Hiil Rd, Belmont. Lots of native bush on my property, only 3 houses down from Sweetacres, never used to be Sweetaceares (only farmland). Literally have had colonies of cats. Named the original 'Ma Kettle'. Because she had liitters upon litters. I was very uneducated, thought it was cute a cat having kittens. But once it got to 23-33 felines, it was ridiculous. Got the SPCA involved. But also an equal amount of domestic cats strayin onto my property. Did go door knocking , never found owners, so got SPCA to pick them up. If I knew who they belonged to I would've returned them. Would never want that to happen to me. So if we could recognise cats (or any other pets) we could notify each other. So have tried creating a FB page. Only have an IPhone. So have created a FB page ' Belmont Pets'. I hope it works out. It distresses me pets lost and no-one knowing who they belong to.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
