New Zealand is constantly battling invasive species who want nothing more than to eat their exotic birds.

So thankfully there's a man, Gareth Morgan, fighting to protect the birds!

He plans on saving birds by eliminating all cats from New Zealand as we previously mentioned…

Wait… what??

How moving!!!

The fight for marriage equality around the world is FAR from over, but equal rights just took a GIANT leap after New Zealand legalized same-sex marriage yesterday.

Those who filled the public galleries of the courtroom to witness Parliament vote to permit same-sex marriage in a 77 to 44 vote were so excited that they burst into song!

The crowd sang New Zealand's indigenous song Pokarekare Ana to serenade the bill's brave sponsor, lesbian Louisa Wall.

Ch-ch-check out the extraordinary moment (above)!!!

And cross your fingers with us that ALL of the US will soon follow in New Zealand's fair footsteps!

Dear New Zealand, YOU ROCK!!!

The land of the kiwis just became one of our new favorite places on the planet as it is set to become the latest country to legalize same-sex marriage!

Hundreds of supporters gathered in screening rooms to watch and celebrate as the historic Marriage Equality Bill was passed with 77 votes to 44!

Labour MP Louisa Wall (pictured above) was one of THE key figure behind the bill and had a short but sweet message after the HUGE victory:

“In our society the meaning of marriage is universal - it's a declaration of love and commitment to a special person.”

Preach sista!

As always, there were still people who opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage, but Customs Minister Maurice Williamson told the haters to chill out, saying:

Uh-oh!

Someone's in trouble!

A New Zealand woman left her baby in her car along with a note that read:

"My mum's in doing the shopping, call her if I need anything."

Her phone number was also printed on the car. A shocked passerby uploaded pictures of the baby in the car on their Facebook. Those pictures went viral, and people are demanding justice!

Surfing is hard for most humans.

But for a baby pig?

That's damn near impossible!

The key word is near because as it turns out there totally is a baby pig that can hang ten and it lives in New Zealand.

Some genius caught it all on tape, and we have been watching it all morning.

It's that cute slash impressive!!!
