It is the law as it stands now that is our problem, and correcting that is what needs to be the focus of our attention. It is the law makers that need to be convinced that the bird sales we are accustomed to are something to be preserved and therefore urge them to take action to remedy the situation. We must show the politicians that our treatment of birds is not what Paris portrays. Attacking the person, although an understandable gut reaction, doesn't help our cause - it actually drags us closer to her level. Instead, we must demonstrate that the outcome she desires, initially banning bird sales, but ultimately banning the breeding and selling of all birds in Australia (one arm of her conflicting logic), is not in the best interest of birds, nor the majority of people in Australia.

Yes, Arthur, we are up to it.
Yes,very good post emmo.Please don't run this person down as we are/will be dragged down to her level.Please remember that this is a public forum and anyone can read it through google as we know now her FB site shows a link to our site with my avatar.
If you haven't already signed the petition,DO IT NOW and get your fellow breeders/mates to sign it as well,don't think the Aussie way of "She be right mate" there's plenty of others out there that can do all that stuff. The more that bird breeders/keepers sign the petition the more our voice will be heard.

Well done Sam, but let's not just leave it to Sam's letter to get through to the minister in a meaningful way. The more such written requests for remedial action by the minister the better. Politicians listen to numbers above all else, so make yourself heard/read by the minister & send one in yourselves, however brief or poorly written matters little as long as you essentially raise the same reasoned concerns & call for similar action by the minister.

Well done and thank you for writing this letter Sam. :clap: Please keep us posted on any responses that you receive.

I hope that the other bird societies and associations follow suit because this can only strengthen our argument.

Nice letter Sam....put the facts in a logical way followed by the solution to the current situation.

How long do you expect the Minister to take before a response is received ?
