Spare a thought for animals this Guy Fawkes
With Guy Fawkes fast approaching, Wellington Zoo and SPCA Wellington Centre would like to remind residents who live close to the Zoo to please be thoughtful and respectful around letting off fireworks as this can be very frightening for both Zoo animals and neighbourhood pets.
Last year, an animal at the Zoo died and it is believed to be the result of distress caused by fireworks.
Under the Wellington City Council Public Places Bylaw it is an offence to “discharge a firework in a public place” and this includes the Town Belt and Melrose Park which backs onto the Zoo.
Park Rangers will on patrol during Guy Fawkes night, however you can help even further by respecting this bylaw and encouraging your neighbours to do the same.
