With the excuse of the bird flu, anything that has to do with farming is being clamped on, under the new totalitarian regime.
Thus, in an effort to combat bird flu, chicken owners in the UK will have to register with the government or face a £5,000 punishment. The government announced that as of October 1, all owners of poultry and captive birds would have to register their animals. Only flocks of fifty birds or more were required to register with the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs under the prior regulations.
The number of birds kept from each species, where they are kept, and their intended use must all be disclosed by keepers, along with their contact information.
Budgies, parrots, canaries, and other related birds kept indoors or in a specific birdhouse with no external access are exempt from the regulations. How kind the authorities are!
Penalties for owners who do not register their birds can range from a maximum punishment of £5,000 to six months in prison, depending on the degree of injury inflicted. Talking about freedom in the new world order!
Following a consultation, the majority of respondents supported maintaining the current laws, with only 13% supporting the proposal to change registration to include one or more birds. “To register their birds keepers must obtain a county parish holding number from the Rural Payments Agency, and fill in an online form with information about their holding and birds.” The usual bureaucratic, annoying stuff…
Although the UK was officially declared avian flu-free, the government is still clamping on this new totalitarian control. The excuse – which is always for your benefit – is that such “changes are to limit future disease outbreaks.” And in order to keep you and your poultry safe, “the Government said that registering keepers would ensure they receive important updates on local avian disease outbreaks and information on biosecurity rules to help protect their flocks.” How kind of the government! The British surely feel grateful for such acts of kindness, under the veil of ‘biosecurity rules’ in the new police state.
Besides being done for your safety, this is also being done for the health of your poultry, you know: “These changes should help the government communicate important information to all poultry keepers in a more timely manner, which in turn will help protect the health of the national flock.” Did we hear ‘for your health and safety’ somewhere in the last three years?
Do you see how the public digital infrastructure is slowly being implemented in the UK, with the excuse of something, for your benefit?
This is a war on food and a war on farming, under the new regime of a total police state. But it is always done with the excuse of a disease, for your own health and safety. Do you recall going through something similar in the last three years?
