Horrible Cruel Slow Death Of Our Pet Rabbits
I have just watched my daughter, a trainee vet and animal rescue volunteer nursing her beautiful pet rabbit as it lay dying from the virus these absolute morons have introduced into our ecosystem. The three other rabbits she cares for at upper hutt animal rescue have also died from this despite having no potential contact with wild rabbits and her other pet rabbit is very sick and will probably die later today as well. These rabbits were both recently vaccinated at the cost of $140.00. What sort of idiots approve the intentional release of a foreign virus into their ecosystem?? There are thousands of unemployed new zealanders that could be given jobs controlling pest animals in a humane way. All of this is supposedly 'tested' but viruses mutate and adapt and quickly...everybody knows that so how 'safe' is it really ? Rabbits will eventually breed resistance to this new strain, just like they have to the older strain, and the problem will return. I'm sure the pricks in suits around boardroom tables looking at figures of profit their corporations will gain from extra production of milk solids etc who have pushed this wont feel any pain. Just another reason to hate the government. Do your own research but if you or your family have pet rabbits maybe consider keeping them inside in a controlled environment and get them vaccinated although the vaccine might kill them anyway. It also takes some time before the rabbits are protected. RIP Ghost, our furry friend. 1 1/2 years old and full of beans until he was murdered for profit:(
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
