Things just can not get any better.
I talk of tomorrows’ keepers being the future of the hobby!
Well hell bells, we are not the only ones whom think this way, so does the RSPCA and of course so did PETA.

PETA gets to your kids
Well now the RSPCA are also joining in on this game with one of their new campaigns:
The Power of Small Actions:
http://www.rspca.org.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RSPCA/RSPCARedirect&pg=Under8TeenzNews&articleId=1191422886371
Which is a jolly exciting way of schooling kiddies of today.
It is a very clever and canny move from our boys in blue, and l lift my top hat off to them indeed!
The Campaign: We are what we do is simply lovely:

So what did your kids learn today, you can hear our keepers ask their children after school?
"Well daddy, today l learnt that you are wrong to keep animals in captivity and by the way do know what else l think............?"
It is a genuinely good idea, and when you look at the FAQ: l feel sure you will agree?
How can l make my school more animal friendly?

But you know what?
I think something like this may need hijacking!
Why do l lift off my top hat?
Well l go back to 1886 of course to the history of the RSPCA:
http://www.animallaw.info/historical/articles/arukrspcahist.htm
"The news quickly reached John Colam at the RSPCA in London, and his immediate reaction was to try and persuade Britain to start a similar institution. Thanks largely to Colam- backed by Dr Barnado among others-his efforts succeeded and by 1886 the NSPCC was being granted the use of the RSPCA's boardroom in Jermyn Street for its meetings. The help of the RSPCA forming this sister organisation was given public acknowledgement at a meeting in the Royal Albert Hall in 1887 when the Rev. Benjamin Waugh, usually regarded as the founder of the NSPCC, said: 'Your Society, the RSPCA, has given birth to a kindred institution whose object is the protection of defenceless children. That Society owes its present position greatly to the help afforded by your Society, and especially are we indebted to Mr Colam, for the wonderful energy and discernment he has thrown into the work of the establishment of the offspring born of your admirable institution.'
Mr Colam became a member of the NSPCC Council and Committee, and thus began a liaison between the two bodies which has continued happily ever since."
So the RSPCA and the NSPCC are good old buddies, and from more recent moves are not just a continuing friendship but are indeed comrades in arms on more than one case….?
However to the hijacking, Pro Keepers Lobby would in fact like to see the Tomorrows Keepers’ campaign launched sometime this year, so any ideas or photos or created images that you can think of that will promote children enjoying our hobbies would be welcomed.
The Hunting and agricultural communities are already striking back in this campaign, so it would be nice to see the reptile communities also assisting, what do you think?
Many thanks
