This is something that concerns every fancier in the country. I know this has been tried before and has failed miserably. But this action for the fancier, we are not hiding behind The Save The Songbirds banner, although the songbird matter is close to our hearts.
I think it’s time that every fancier in the country, stood up and be counted.
I’m surprised that certain lofts or companies have ignored my email for help to give credibility to this action. So I have now decided to go further a field and enlist help from European Well known fanciers, this I have done through PIPA, who have agreed to do an article for us to raise awareness of our plight
This is going all the way and we do need to push it in very way.
I know we are up against an extremely well publicises opponent, which I think worries lots of fanciers. But they have never been up against the might of the fancy before. If we can unite the fancy, by uniting the clubs, the feds and the unions. We will then have a chance of being heard.
Regards
Gary

Cheers guys, your support is much appreciated, thanks for your support Rob, Fred has also helped us out immensely, but making the paper petitions for us at his own expense a great gesture that we are most appreciative.
I am not going to give up on this action, nor will one day will I rest without doing something to help us publicise this action until we have our case heard.

We now have 425 signatures in just over a week.
PIPA have now published an article for us and is gaining much interest and is becoming a good debate.

We still need much support, if this action is going to be taken seriously.
Thanks all for support.
