Default £2 pcm - could you and would you?

Hi,

£2 a month for the rest of this year and the next and so on, could you spare £2 pcm for the welfare of the exotic keeping community? Or more?

If PKL/PKA was to establish an account that was for the benefit of this hobby all hobbies would you commit to it?

£24 per year, could you afford that, if it meant that it was used to keep the hobbies alive, keep the industry fruitful, keep our animals out of the hands of those that oppose?

I mean hey, the RSPCA HQ send out mass letter spam campaigns every year and promote this kind of donation, why could we not do the same?

It would mean that every keeper in the UK would donate to this fund raising campaign, fund raising for the benefit of our animals.

Well, your opinions are again required.

Many Thanks

Rory Matier
PKL/PKA

2 quid a month wouldnt make a dent would it. Im sure a lot of us could lose that down the back of the sofa and not know about it...*Goes to check back of sofa for loos change* LOL

I hope this isnt a stupid question, but how exactly does this money go towards helping our hobby? I know little about PKL/PKA or what they do.

My business already spends about £200 a year on business memberships with various organisations that are meant to be helping the hobby (and that comes directly out of my profit) and I can only assume they are using my money for something useful, although I wish I knew what that was. Therefore an extra £24 a year I would probably spend, yes.

The only thing is that I am getting a bit tired of giving money to societies that don't keep you up to date and give nothing back..

I think people who have previously joined a number of society's and felt disappointed with the results, may be shy of joining a new society unless it's clear where the money is being used and what they get for it.

I won't vote yet. The description is very vague, and I wouldn't donate £2 a month without first having a firm understanding of how my money would be spent.

Same here, im happy to donate more than just £2 a month if i knew how the money was being spent and how the organisation was representing me.
