Definitely support, @NatResWales and @SeneddWales trying to ban game birds shooting now too, via the back door by adding Phrasant and Partridge to schedule 9 of the wildlife act. When will they stop meddling to gain populist votes!

Looking back through my grandfather's stuff and found these. He trained/owned loads of greyhounds over the years and learnt from the best. He raced out of @SwindonDogs, and all over, including winning the Trafalgar Cup with Careless Dragon pictured here in 1981. @GreyhoundBoard

Housing measures remain in place in England & Wales and you must continue to practice strict biosecurity to keep your birds safe! Claudia Audley @BGPoultry explains a few steps you can take.

@Stephleesi @DT_Pawlitical@BlueCrossPA @WelshGreyhounds @HopeRescue@RSPCA_PATeam@JackSargeantAM@JoelJamesSWC@SeneddWales Regulation isn't in Wales. First step should be regulation not outright ban. Very clever and persistent lobbying from the charities a d manipulation of statistics to suit their agenda. Less than 0.05% track fatalities is true figure, comparable to other sports both human/animal.
@GREY2KUSA@HopeRescue Sloppy reporting, it was not a debate, just a session to note the findings of the petitions committee, that lacked thorough due diligence. A biased slant on figures, looking forward to public and full @SeneddWales debate later this year! https://t.co/Hw7iKFhDSq
@RSPCAcymru@Eluned_Morgan@DT_Pawlitical@HopeRescue @WelshGreyhounds @BlueCrossPA I would rather see her putting all her efforts into improving the NHS in Wales. Trusts in special measures, record waiting lists, A&E care in crisis not to mention social care a complete car crash. Regulation, not a ban!
@HopeRescue@WelshLabour@sarah4bridgend@BlueCrossPA@DT_Pawlitical@RSPCAcymru @WelshGreyhounds The @WGRural minister stated that her inspectors & vets visited the unregulated Valleys track eight times and had not witnessed any welfare issues. A lot more due diligence to be done. Regulation is the way forward not a ban. As for the Grey2K survey they only asked 500 people!
Have your say:
Should all bird keepers or keepers with over 10 birds, compulsory register their birds on the Poultry Register?
Should bird keepers update their records on the Register every year?
It’s vital we tackle the threat of #BirdFlu.

Perhaps let @NatResWales know. Their tree clearing coupled with years of neglect to culverts by @RCTCouncil has caused havoc in the #Rhondda We have always had heavy rain! #Floods
Great Britain’s trees and woodlands are worth millions in the fight against flooding.
Trees play an important role in:
🌧️intercepting rainfall
💧storing water
🌊reducing run off
@Forest_Research have now estimated this is worth over £400m each year.

We are still reporting cases of #birdflu.
Hear from the Chief Veterinary Officer, Christine Middlemiss, on why you should be practicing strict biosecurity and protecting your #birds.
