Someone shooting cats in Berhampore
Somebody is shooting cats in Berhampore. My slender black Mandalay cat has been very unwell over the past weeks. After X-raying her chest in the weekend, the vet discovered the pellet from an air rifle is lodged in her chest cavity. Given that there is a feral cat colony between Luxford St and Te Wharepouri St and many of those cats or skinny black cats - my suspicion is that somebody might be taking shots at cats they believe are strays. Regardless of the why, this is not cool, and it is not safe. Just a heads up that if you live around the Te Wharepouri St / Luxford area and your cat starts behaving strangely - check for gunshot.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
