Eid Day Wellington, This Weekend!
Ok, Good People! There will be a big festivity happening at Te Rauparaha in Porirua for Eid this weekend to mark the end of Ramadhan fasting month. Fun, Food & Games at this Free Event. Opened to all, so? Bring the kids to enjoy a cultural experience! We'll be having an inside stall (think Rendang with bread, our famous cinnamon rolls & donuts, Pizzapuffs, Apple Pie & Lychee Bubbleteas). EFTPOS Available. The only catch is that Eid is confirmed only after moonsighting on Friday 21 Apr. Therefore, watch this space for confirmation as to whether this event is Saturday OR Sunday! Either way, it's 9.30am -3.30pm. See you there.
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
