[rmv] it related to Northern Ireland.

The DWA in Northern Ireland was not publisised in the general press when it was comming in, until the day it was launched. At that time I and many of my friends never visited this or other forums and I am not sure if you even had a thread about it then, did you?

If you missed it on the one day they talked about 28.12.06 (when i suspect many people were still enjoying christmas then it was not that hard to miss the 1 minute slot it had on the bbc NI news

Not a lie, there is a company in the UK contracted to deal with seized DWA.

Na not him seeing it odd, he used to post on mine and my mates old forum, just the fact of the decapitated lions, everyone on the program even the council mateys or whoever they were sounded shifty no one really had any answers.

The Snake is definately in a belfast petshop. They told my friend that the government were saving money and were giving the snake to another keeper rather than sending it to the proper authorities.

From watching the show it seems they dont care about the animals regardless of what they say.

Firstly they left the lions and tigers in that awefull place with the ginger guy looking after them, why did they not rehome them? saving money!
Cheaper to pay him a pitence to house them in crap conditions and then destroy them than it would have been to ship them to a zoo or sanctuary somewhere.

If they have a contract with someone in the UK why have they not come and collected the Viper? Cheaper to pay a local shop a few euros a day to look after it than it is to send it somewhere it will get looked after properly.

Cheaper to give the snake away to someone than re-home it properly.

who is this company in the UK, they probably dont exist. Typical Government, ours is the same. Dont do anything properly, just the cheapest bodge they can manage. They dont care about the animals. Did you see the guy from the government say on the program they have disposed of the animals in one way or another. They were not re-homed. They probably killed them all except the tiger and 2 wolves. They only kept them alive so the program didnt make them look too bad. They would have been long dead if the program makers were not filming.

Does anyone know who made the program, i am going to send them a link to this thread. Then they cant kill the snake or any that come up in the future.
