Animals in Danger at NZ Bird Rescue!

We need your attention and help! NZ Bird Rescue, previously known as
Cornwall Park Bird Rescue and Magpie Rescue and Rehabilitation, is putting
animals in harm's way. Despite its name, this organization is failing to
provide adequate care and attention to the animals in its custody.

As someone who has witnessed the neglect and suffering of these animals
firsthand, I am outraged and heartbroken. Many birds have been left in
boxes without food, water, or medical attention, and some have even died
as a result. The organization's leader, Jody Trewheeler, has prioritized
her own interests over the welfare of the animals, and has ignored
warnings and advice from experienced animal care professionals.

We have reported our concerns to government agencies and animal rescues,
but nothing has been done to address this situation. It is unacceptable
that defenseless animals are being put in harm's way, and we demand action
to stop this cruelty!

- Immediate action to protect the animals in NZ Bird Rescue's custody
- An investigation into the organization's practices and treatment of
animals
- Accountability for those responsible for the neglect and suffering of
these animals

Let us work together to raise awareness and demand action to stop animal
cruelty!"

Yours faithfully,
Cher Ryker
