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.

My thanks to Ssamm and PhilCW,

I have just posted this below in the thread l launched last night concerning this petition, and to be honest, l will continue to write about these two petitions until we have a signature power of at least 5,000.

Then l will continue to write about them, so come on, please sign

To all of this readership whom have signed already, l thank you.

With increased legislations since the arrival of the Animal Welfare Act 2007, we must now in this year really show to those whom oppose that we are everything we pertain ourselves to be - that is responsible carers.

There can be no earthly reason for you not to want to sign this petition or indeed the primate petition;

Petition to: 'allow the keeping of primates by private keepers'.

They are here for the private keepers, this is the way forwards for the opposition in both anti and Governmental to see we are genuine in our wishes and desires to remain keepers and not be subjected to the whims of those who think we can not maintain exotics correctly.

Please, sign.

Petition to: Support private exotic captive care keepers.

Do it now, and you will not have to do it later on in the year.

Sign now, show your support, link it, place it on your websites, place a petition in your local retailer.

The legislation is only going to get harder, currently we have 66 signatures for Exotic Species, and 80 for Primate Keeping. Combined we have 146 signatures.

When the antis counter attack and they will, they could have this in the first twenty minutes!

Thanks For Reading

Rory
