limited amount is just up to them, they cant refuse you a license by saying "we have limited amount" theres not law to say that afaik, it would be discrimination.

Shame.

The NI situation is changing, as the authorities are bringing in DWA legislation. One of my contacts has just been awarded the contract to deal with all seized animals, so there has now been a complete change, bringing NI in line with the rest of the UK.

it says the legislation was brought in 2 years ago though.

watched this last night, some people are very strange!!

No council can enforce on a quota of licenses that illegal and an infrigment of your civil liberties.

Also I never heard of anyone being check by the Fire service.....I challange that anytime.. but there again I like to fight officialdom with a passion

PM me their contact details and i'll pose as someone moving to the area and check out their attitude.

weird program eh?
they reconed that out of 100 dwa keepers only 7 applied!!
haha there government are NEVER gonna get all the dwa keeper to get a license

Thanks for the video, it was a great watch, this is even more proof that the DWA is unenforcable, unthoughtful and not necessarily for animal welfare. I don't blame people for not surrendering their animals hence why theres literally hundreds of people unlicensed.

I heard from a friend acroos the boarder in Northern Ireland that the government have confiscated his Viper under the dangerous wild animals licence on friday. Only thing is that he is at Uni in england [rmv].He has since heard that they have taken it to a petshop in belfast and are going to give it to another keeper. at the end of the program they said they had another uk firm looking after the animals, but that must be a lie as it has definately gone to a petshop as someone he knows was in the shop at the weekend and was told about it.Obviously the government have not improved since the program, i wouldnt be suprised if they are not going to kill it or let the shop sell it to the other keeper.I am thinking of emailing one of the news papers who ran the story about the beheaded lions to tell them as at least that way the government wont be able to kill it because its cheaper.

so he was on this site and saw the thread? its all an odd string of events.
