As announced by the member Societies and the FBH in February, the FBH Kempton Park Breeders’ Meeting will not take place at the racecourse this year as the management of the venue has decided to decline the booking. This week the APA (Animal Protection Agency) have issued a statement claiming...

Whilst on eBay I came across this: Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles 9780412550805, Book, BRAND NEW FREE P&H 0412550806 | eBay Look at the price of it. You would have thought that it was an actual academic text for that price, but from the editor I very much doubt that it is. I knew he...

Please note that a new section for the FBH has been set up at the top of the FBH Affiliated Section on RFUK. FBH - Reptile Forums This is to allow Chris to post threads that he needs to bring to our attention in an easy to use and find section on this forum. It seemed fitting to put it in...

Hi all. The Daily Star would like to run an article about how those people who keep bearded dragons use them for fighting as an entertainment blood sport, like cock-fighting, dog fighting etc. It's been confirmed to them, by a rescue/conservation organisation in the North West of England, that...

Wonderful link about Clifford Warwicks credentials. I especially love the claim; 'All his animals died prematurely' And the APA decided this was a man to listen to as thier reptile expert? Reptile Not Repulsive - But Keeping Them Is Also loving his new report on the APA website, that 3...

The upcoming BBC documentary incorporating the Doncaster reptile show has thrown up many opinions regarding what the weight of the real threat from the anti-reptile groups is. Some people have said that if the shows and the vendors tidy up their acts that the anti's will not be able to portray...

It must be a very slow day for news if these lot managed to get air time!

It looks like the APA might be looking to cause trouble again, I've just seen this on their facebook page: http://www.cisionwire.com/animal-protection-agency/r/kidderminster-is-fast-becoming-a-haven-for-illegal-wildlife-dealers-,c9287328 Are these idiots ever going to wind their necks in? :devil:

Just to let everyone know that we are going to be giving a large percentage of the money raised from the show to the FBH fund to help the fight. We ourselves as a show came under the animal rights fire last year with protests outside the event and if anyone reads the local papers you will see we...

Mission Statement The “Mission Statement” of the FBH is quite simple. It exists to promote and support the responsible keeping of reptiles & amphibians by individuals in the UK. Our “Aims & Objectives” are equally simple: · To represent the legitimate interests of UK reptile keepers at...

Welcome to my official first post as FBH Liason for RFUK. Firstly, I would like to apologise for my lack of forum "mechanics" knowledge and terminology - I'm a self confessed technophobe! I will find my feet, I'm sure. This section is very much work in progress. Over the next few days and...

From Chris Newman. Wild Futures [formally know as the Woolly Monkey Sanctuary] in Cornwall is a leading Animal Rights organisation that along with many other similar organisations, such as the Bourn Free Foundation, is trying to ban the keeping of so called exotics as pets. Periodically they...

This is an existing petition by the self help group. While it isn't anything to do with the FBH it would certainly help our cause if the Government did set up an oOmbudsman to control the activities of charities. Remember the Animal Protection Agency is a charity. The petition can be found on...

I can now officially announce that I have returned to IHS committee duties after a fourteen year rest! It was unanimously voted that I was co-opt'ed onto the committee into a position (yet untitled) that will allow a voice and a prospective of the commercial side of the industry within the IHS...

OK, so the APA are trying to stop not only the trade in Exotic pets, but also the keeping and breeding of them.... What can we do?... Myself and Messengermatt have started to tackle this, but we need your help, Anyone who can help set up and run a website, please contact messengermatt...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post or not but thought people might find it an interesting read after all the grief they have caused in the past and more recently with the Doncaster show. Its a little satisfying to hear that some complaints are being upheld against their lies...

Hey guys, I know that a lot of us girlies are fans of bubbly cosmetics and smellies, and a lot of people are big fans of Lush Cosmetics. But obviously we don't want to be funding the APA through our purchases! So on request of a friend last night I did a brief internet search to find some Lush...

This thread has been created to collate information on the APA. This organisation is being mentioned more and more on the forum. Although the post contains no real new information, it has been put together in order for people who are not entirely sure who they are, and the threat they represent...
