SPCA Pet of the Day: Luke the Rabbit

Reporter Community News

Just before Christmas, five rabbits were found in a box in a Levin, left to fend for themselves with no home and no family. Four rabbits quickly became 11 after one gave birth to seven baby rabbits!

"I was born in SPCA's care after my mum was left in a box on the steps of SPCA Levin. Now I am here at SPCA Wellington looking for a forever home and a second chance at happiness.
All I've known is life in SPCA's care and now my caregivers want to find me a home to call my own and where I can binky, run and play to my heart's content. I may not look like your average domestic rabbit (you can blame my dad's genes for that!), but I have a sweet personality that I'd love to share with my loving family! I would love a home with a female rabbit to be friends with. I will need a secure outdoor pen for daytime, and an indoor space for nighttime so I can be a part of the family."

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
