MORE BIRD KILLING

Many thanks to Browns Bay local, Maryann, for contacting us about yet another narcotic affected bird.

She nearly drove over this little one, who she named Percy, because he was comatose in the Fruit World car park.

Maryann had read about the urgency to identify the Browns Bay bird-killer on the community pages, so she knew to keep Percy in a dark, warm place until we could collect him tonight. If only everyone was so kind. Thank you Maryann (pictured).

Please check back tomorrow to see whether Percy survives the night. Where one bird is affected there will be others. Yet another affected bird was found by a local resident on Inverness Road yesterday.

Please be vigilant for unwell birds at all times when visiting central Browns Bay... and, to prevent secondary poisoning, please keep a close eye on your dogs, cats, and toddlers.

Many thanks to BROWNS BAY, NORTH SHORE, NZ (Original 11 years) and Browns Bay, North Shore, NZ for keeping the community in the loop about the ongoing killing of the avian population.

If anyone has evidence of the culprit(s), please make a written report to the Browns Bay Community Constable and send us an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

MARCH TO KEEP THE BAN

AUCKLAND CBD. AOTEA SQUARE
THIS SATURDAY 26th APRIL. 12 NOON
MARCH TO KEEP THE BAN. JOIN US

Under the previous government, Kiwis fought hard and succeeded in banning cruel live animal export by sea.

The current government intends to overturn the ban and resume the transportation of animals on gruelling, weeks' long sea voyages to destinations with little to no welfare regulations.

It is with good reason they are known as "Death Ships" as many animals die horrific deaths, not only at their destinations, but also while at sea.

Car pooling is available from our shelter in Browns Bay at 11am... or we'll see you there at 12pm.

Please message or email if you want to travel with us or to provide a driver and/or vehicle. Thank you for bringing friends with you.

EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING

Exciting things are happening at our shelter and we look forward to updating you as the project unfolds.

Many thanks to the amazing sponsors who responded to our call for this two phase build. We can't wait to unveil the fruits of their generosity once the hard labour is completed... just in time for winter.
