Say no to alcohol next to Southern Cross Campus

The Campus educates pupils from year 1-13 – more than 1500 students attend the school. The new Thirsty Liquor shop will be directly opposite the sc

While it is a very sad day for the family of the keeper who has died in Hamilton, NZ. I do not want to see an innocent animal put to death because the keeper did not follow procedures and take all necessary precautions before entering the enclosure of a wild animal.
