With the recent events surrounding the home office and immigration, and the funding of different political parties, one has to wonder if anything has changed.

Is it now, as it seemed back in the 80's.. where if you have the cash, nothing is impossible, even to the extent of corruption and intimidation.

More recently the event surrounding the illegal seizure of primates and the 'postponed' return of the same still point to some kind of underhanded practices.

It is for these reasons the whole industry has to be above board, to have procedures and to follow them openly. As an industry, we have nothing to fear from 'doing the right thing' from providing the right conditions.

But

We must do so as one. not bit by bit so stories of mistreatment and cruelity still hit the head lines, we must support each other and stand up for our rights, not those rights that may be thrust upon us.

As a final thought, you may ask who would want to re enact a plant such as that featured.

How about a group of people who openly refuse to work with real experts in the field, who demand a break in communications between local ops and local keepers when discovered, who cover up thier other interests, who get power trips over uniforms, who have proven links to criminal activity.

Oh, and have over 200 million quid hanging around.

So, who would want to show the industry in a bad light?
Hi there

Having known this person for quite some years now, I can honestly say he is not that kind of man, he was totally dedicated to his field of expertise even going into dept with his bank and going hungry in order of caring for his birds, we could call him a victim of his own sucsess,

On the mention of that spare 200 million, I believe that the parties involved were simply flexing their muscles regardless so as not to loose their funding with a bit of jealousy thrown in from other parties.

there are lots of unanswered questions which might come out if a public enquiry was brought forward, the case is still on-going, we must helphim before he grows too old and passes away,

Questions like,

Who should have been prosecuted for the loss of all those rare species when the birds dropped their eggs in those tiny cages, that is caring for the rare species, I think not,
they could have easily left the birds their under scrutiny until such times the chicks were fledged, Harry would have looked after them regardless of what the outcome was going to be.

why did they need armed gaurds SWAT type guys to break into his house and confront him wjile he was in bed to take control of the situation, even drug dealers get prefferential treatment,

Did you know that his daughter who was preagnant at the time and was roughly handlled by the police, that she lost her child through the stress and damage cause when she was knocked to the floor, a bit over enthusiastic would say,

There are many unasnwered questions that if looked into thouroughly might just justify a public enquiry of such a landmark case.

SEUK.

If we all club together with a pattition to parliament for Harry Sissen then someone would have to look into things, Hague was missused in court on the day, maybe he might want to put his point across instead of sitting on his back side and looking in from a distance.

There are lots of unanswered questions which might come out if a public enquiry was brought forward, the case is still on-going, we must help him before he grows too old and passes away, which might suit them to down the ground.

Questions like,

Who should have been prosecuted for the loss of all those rare species when the birds were dropping their eggs in those tiny cages when ti customs guys were taking them away, cn anyone imagine just how many rare species were lost on tha day, is that caring for the rare species, I think not,
they could have easily left the birds their under scrutiny until such times the chicks were fledged, Harry would have looked after them regardless of what the outcome was going to be.

Now is the time to act, so this kind of thing does not happen again.

Did or did he not smuggle extremely rare birds? It's a simple question. Unfortunately. it looks like he did. He can take his case to the court of appeal if he wants to but I think they had him bang to rights.
