Mid Central Health

Sue from Takaro

Has anyone else heard the really alarming story that in spite of all the mishaps (some that have taken lives) others really close misses due to shortage of staff; not long ago when Andrew Little visited, made a total mockery of that visit by for the time he was there - moved staff to places he visited so it "looked good"! How stupid could this be?
Badly in need of help; at our expense too often; yet all that is reported on Stuff and in the paper of the mistakes and deaths, yet they go and cover up how truly bad it is?! Has anyone else heard this disgusting but sadly not unbelievable story? How else are those at the top meant to know? I'm sure they become VIP treated if needing help, yet the truth of the real need gets covered over. I am sickened by this thought.
Please can anyone who can coo berate this as fact make a comment?
It came from a reliable source or else I wouldn't post it. If I was one of those staff members I just could not have complied with such a cover-up!

⚠️ 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 ❤️
