We recently visited Totara Park with our dog and came home with him covered in disgusting ticks. We have been walking in the park for 3 years and have never had this problem so we revisited the park a few days later and sure enough discovered more ticks.
The park itself is home to cows who spread these pests and have also apparently chased a few people recently. There are signs up in the park regarding the cows which have been defaced by residents with things such as "land destroyers" and "polluters".
The last time we visited, the cows had blocked the walking track so we tried to go around only to discover that the ground had been ruined to the point you couldn't walk for fear you'd break your ankle so we had to walk on the street, we may as well have walked around our own street.
Honestly i am getting a little bit sick of seeing the "farms in parks" scheme as it ruins the experience, spreads pests and is just another way to drum up money for the council all while ruining the parks that taxes go towards. When paying dog rego some of the money is said to go towards dog parks, but when you cant use them because cows are given preference under the guise of it being good for children, it really grinds my gears.
I have written the council regarding the ticks and of course, nothing back.
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences.
Thanks

Halloween is always associated with truckloads of candy! But this year it seems like things are changing and healthy snacks might be on the menu. Is this the case for you?

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.
As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
