Have you seen a PortaLoo trailer with minus the PortaLoo?

Malcolm from Otaki District

Over the weekend the members of Kapiti Fly Fishing club held a FREE Family Take a Kid Fishing event at the Winstone Lakes for our local Community and on Saturday evening some 'low-life' came down to the lakes and removed the PortaLoo off the trailer and stole the trailer. They would need specific tools as the PortaLoo was bolted down on the trailer, the trailer belongs to Kapiti Hire and had their name on the trailer. The persons who stole the trailer would have visited the Community Event at some stage on Saturday and participated in the free event, as a member of the Kapiti Fly Fishing Club and one of the members running this event it is bitterly disappointing to know that there are people in our Community that

⚠️ 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 ❤️

Scam

Helen from Paraparaumu

Be aware when you answer the phone it could be a scam. Just had call on landline re visa credit card. I hung up before they got past first sentence!! Checked with the bank and it’s a scam call. Caller ID listed an Australian number! If it was genuine, they would have rung back. So far total silence!
