Easter and bunnies
**PSA***
Easter is coming, yay chocolates. But unfortunately many people will buy rabbits for their kids/family, the rabbit will be loved for a little bit but then will be left in the hutch in the back of a garden, not cared for properly. Rabbits are not an easy, first pet, they require so much. Some quick fact's
-rabbit average life span 10-12 yrs
-they require lots of space, a hutch is not enough, think what space a dog requires, that is what a rabbit needs
-there diet is a bit of a science formula, not just carrots and lettuce, they'll require their own weekly veg shop and this can get expensive
-regular vet checks and vaccinations
-they need company so you won't have 1 rabbit but 2 and they'll often will only bond with the opposite sex, so, big vet bills for desexing
-and stock pile on chargers cause they love that spicy hay on there teeth.
So, in short, just like a dog isn't for Christmas, the same goes for bunnies and easter.
If you find yourself needing to re-home your bunny please please don't put advertise them for free or just release them. Please contact your local recuse, SPCA, HuHA, Wellington Rabbit Rescue or even myself will take them in and get them to a loving home.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
