Default What Exactly is The Pro Keeper's Lobby?

Hi everyone, just wondering what this is...How old do you have to be to join?
Cheers!
Ben

Far as I know - and Rory can smack me if I'm wrong - there is no age limit.

All you need is to be dedicated to animal keeping and keeping animals in the appropriate conditions.

What is it for exactly? I know it's to do with sustaining the hobby but how does it work?

Well, if you go to the PKL website, there is a "join" option. It asks you a few questions - some of which IS relating to what YOU can do to help the hobby.

For example, I do graphics and write articles for the PKL; I have also handed out letters and flyers about the European Protected Species legislation to local pet shops.

I beleive the "pro" means those who are supporting keeping as opposed to "anti".
