National Association of Private Animal Keepers

Does anyone ;

a] Know who these were?

b] Remember who they were?

c] Belong to the actual Association itself or rather did?


Originally formed in 1986 for private animal keepers, which was to focus on raising a voice against restrictive legislation surrounding the hobby.

Cheers Rory

I have heard of them I think you brought it up before.

The site was last updated in 2004.

The website is active only as an archive of information, so yes it is understandable that the domain was re-registered.

I spoke with Jim Collins about this last night, so can say as said above.

The reason behind my posting is to see what awareness there is of the Association itself, with a view to see if there is any viability to re-emerging NAPAK.

Thanks for the reply.

In the closing days of 2003-2004, what D says was in fact spoken by a good few people.

I think what happened, and no, this is not gospel, it was an observation from the time.

Membership dropped off, due to very few replies from the actual membership, but also it as an association experienced monetary problems due to the publication of its quarterly magazine.

With so little response, keepers started to lose faith.
