Hey people, do you realize these poor little animals suffer horrible deaths especially now its getting so cold at night. Couldn't you possibly take them to Cats Protection League??? We try to catch those that are past hope and feed, the tame ones till we can get them to a vet. We breed pedigree cats and again have to deal the problem of these poor sick unwanted kittens spreading viruses to our cats.

Dan Gordon said he spoke with the company's HR department after hearing of the planned closure, which would affect 21 staff.

The 4000 bales of rubbish at a site on Spencerville Rd, owned by Renew Energy Ltd (REL) and ERP Group Ltd, are destined for a yet-to-be-built waste-to-energy plant in Belfast.
REL also intends to store up to 10 times as much waste at a site on Blakes Rd,in Belfast, for five years while it builds the South Island's first waste-to-energy plant. Its consent application is currently on hold while more detail is sought by ECan.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Can New Zealand do more to ensure that past, present and future service people - and their whānau – are recognised and supported?

Hey neighbours, how do you feel about this divisive household dilemma?
Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?

Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?
It's one of many home dilemmas we come across on Homed, along with toilet paper over or under? cutlery up or down in the dishwasher? top sheet or no top sheet?, to name a few. Read more about the arguments for each and see how many people agree with you, here.
