Quiet DWAL Opposition
Anyone actually wonder why the RSPCA and the Antis did not kick up a stink with the species being lifted from the DWAL?
Especially on the primate side? R PKL

Because they probably know that it WILL cause problems when idiots get their hands on them, cant look after them properly, then let them lose or hand them over to the RSPCA. The RSPCA and the antis can then go look at this massive problem of keeping exotics, lets ban it to save the animals.

it was probably so they didnt publisize it, hoping less people will notice, and less people will get them

there was a small press release from the RSPCA but they wernt their usual selves.
I think it was a tactical. They are waiting for the shakeup with regional guidfelins etc and are wanting to make it harder for DWALs to be issued. There line is going to be "well the less harmless have been taken off so these are all deadly" AND ALSO FOR WHEN THEY HAVE TO RESCUE A PRIMATE ETC THEY CAN SAY "THEY SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF" And then get them replaced. (soz bout caps)

In many ways Dan
........correct.
But for the last three years l ahve been saying that primates may be prohibited from private keeping. That could now well happen. By 2008 that could be in place. Ok so you guys may not be primate keepers, but if they do enact that piece of legis out as a policy now, signed off by the same juinor Minister that signed off the EPS legis, then it will notbe long before they really start to win hands down other fraternities.

I was wondering that too. But there are now specific guidelines in place for the keeping of primates under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 that people will have to adhere to by law. Maybe thats why species like tamarins and squirrel monkeys came off, they can prosecute anyone not following these specific guidelines.
But if you ask me, ALL primates should be DWA for the sake of their own welfare. Not many people in South Wales would have paid over 2 grand for a DWA so they can have a lil' monkey sat on their shoulder....

Don't have much time for here today so sorry if the following is too abrupt.
Miffikins, the DWA is in place to protect the PUBLIC. When people start abusing it and using it for other purposes we get problems. There is no need for your line of thought to make things worse. Rory, i have glossed over your comments on the other thread. I'll reply when i get chance or give me a bell, either way's good.
