Ok folks,
on a less funny topic...the one topic most you are now aware of...the proposals by DEFRA to infringe on our right to RESPONSIBLY keep and CARE for our animals! Emails and petitions are falling on "Recyle Bins" and "Waste-Paper baskets" all over DEFRA and probably the RSPCA.

The occassional phone-call, or letter to their offices or local MP's is not working, or if it is, in rare cases, and so little as to be useless. I am hosting a meet with the owners of as many REP forums as possible to discuss important and relevant issues and consequences of DEFRA's proposed legislation. The meet will also discuss our options to do something to save our hobby legally.

It will be hosted by Debs of DNS and myself. The place will be in MSN IM, for those who do not have msn IM, we will make every possible attempt to relay in yahoo IM also. This meet IS IMPORTANT and we have WELL LAID PLANS to put forward for debate and action. Your co-operation is essential to success.

My email for this is on msnIM: nentres@hotmail.com
My Yahoo IM ID is : snappychappy

Please do not abuse these email addys.

Please let as many other forum owners and mods know of this meeting. We need as many forums onside as possible.

The meet is scheduled for Friday 14th October. DEFRA's legislation window for comments from us is closing on 31st October, so time is of the essence.

We need Members, Mods, and especially other forums...that means you forum owners.

Kind Regards...Glenn
