Is nothing safe anymore?

Now we hear of the RSPCA wanting to place plasmids, arachnids and coleptera onto the Animal Welfare Act.

Yes l know, those out there who saw our earlier Skunk alert, may think we are just out to clarify web design, not the case.

The reason for the Skunk alert was to pull the rug out from under their feet and say 'Hey we know what you are thinking!"

And the same is applicable here.

Yes our boys in wannabee police blue are keen to see insect keepers governed by the AWA!!

Tarantulas are a apparently a major problem in the UK, for they are abound everywhere!?

So let me get this straight, the Entomologist breeders and keepers have a lot to answer for.

Come on guys what are you up to?

Have your stick insects, beetles and spiders and scorps been playing silly buggers without your heads up?

Listen up invert bodies, they are on to you and want to see you banned or in the least seriously restricted in what funnels you can hide within!

Just a piece of friendly advice.

Thanks

ps; yes, l am being serious about this one, the RSPCA are hot on this, watch end 2007/early 2008 articles, newsclips and media coverages.

yes, this has already been in the news, I read an article in the paper about a month or two ago, saying that the RSPCA wanted "higher orders" of invertebrates to be offered protection under the AWA. Trouble is if they get this it surely wont be long before "higher orders" of invertebrates becomes "all invertabrates" and then it would be illegal to live feed crickets etc. Even if it is limited to "higher orders" then I am pretty sure that would put an end to invertebrates through the post. One I am watching.

i agree with pink..the insects we feed our animals will soon be restricted...
maybe the RSPCA should use their generous donations to teach their people some friggin sense and real knowledge or a kick up the backside which id volunteer my services for free..

This is beginning to sound like a badly written soap opera...

what interests me is that unless the rspca are against ALL farming of animals and ALL eating of said produce.. they are complete hypocrites. and it wouldnt surprise me if they decide insects that are fed to reps need protecting also...



to enable an RSPCA employee to be remotely viable for me to even begin to listen to them....
they would need convince me they had never bought from a macdonalds or KFC.. never ate a batter farmed egg... never ever ate a farmed fish...trod on a beatle invading their home... brushed away a wasp about to sting them... ( so if thats every single rspca employee im guessing they dont practice what the preach.. FUNNY THAT EH??)


it gets more and more stupid every day

or how about


MASS CULL CALLED FOR

RSPCA calls for mass cull of every animal IN THE WORLD ( wild and captive) that is currently alive ( including humans that do not work or volunteer for their organisation).... for fear they MAY be remotely unhappy, eaten by a predator, or in any way unhealthy or suffering unduly from natural conditions or old age...




Then the RSPCA could come out the closet as a cult...

They would have world domination!!

this could effect me alot seeing as most of what I keep is inverts, it would be a right pain if they banned them from being sent via royal mail, I think the RSPCA should sort themselves out reprioritise, because the number one rescue charity in the UK, they should be under alot more scrutiny than they are already, people need to know the facts.
