THIS IS ON ANOTHER FORUM IM A MEMBER OF (WAS PUT ON BY IAN DENISE) HOPE YOU DONT MIND THIS HERE


A new petition has been raised which is aimed at all animal keepers - mammal, primate, reptile, invertebrate, aquatic and avian.

As a society of animal lovers we must show to those whom do oppose the keeping of animals and exotic species that we are responsible keepers, that we do have the right to maintain within our collections.

Indeed as responsible owners we too care for the conditions in which these animals are kept, and that we also agree whole heartily with the need for increased legislation promoting codes of practice, enforcement, licensing where so required, creating awareness, animals rights, but also that keepers have rights.

Not just aimed at private keepers, but also at the traders, manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers, basically anyone involved with the industry.

I ask of you now, to please join us, sign your name, show that support. I would ask of retailers to have a copy of this in their shops so that we can appeal to the land based market that are not involved with forums so that they too can pledge their support, the same l would ask of forums to sticky this petition post, as indeed would l ask of all Website masters to place a link into their websites.

This petition needs to be signed, it needs to show the opposition and the government that as keepers of animals both exotic and domestic that we are responsible in our ownership, and that we too do care for our animals.

"Captive care keepers in the United Kingdom believe that they have the right to maintain exotic animal species within their collections. Many oppose the keeping of animals, many more oppose the keeping of exotic species, be these, mammal, primate, avian, reptile, aquatic or invertebrate.

With increased legislation under the new animal welfare act such as codes of practice, enforcement, education, regulation, communication and awareness there should be no genuine reasons for the government to encourage the opposition to continue their campaigns to cease this.

Responsible ownership and husbandry, promotion of both keepers and animals rights also feature very heavily upon the minds of those that do keep animals privately. All keepers therefore call for support from the government rather than condemnation"

Petition to: Support private exotic captive care keepers.
