Cage and Aviary Birds.

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello all,

What are your views of the past Months of this publication?

I'm coming very close to calling it a day with Cage and Aviary due to thinking that this publication is very much tarnished with the views of AR, The RSPCA advert on the back page has just about done it for me.

What do you think of this?

Ditto
Paul the add is just a joke and rub in face from the antis due to the sensitivity that surrounds the fancy at the moment.

i also agree with your views, i have been sick of cage and aviary birds for a long time and rarely buy it, because the content is so often poor. i also agree that the paper is tarnashed by printing so many views by the AR's and RSCPA.

i will put my faith into the new magazine, which i still need to sign up for.

Hi all,

i agree with all of you, i stopped buying the paper a few months ago now as there was nothing worth reading in there other than the ads at the back. They stick a great big picture and headline on the front page, and then when you go to read it it's barely a paragraph, and hardly worth reading. the thing that pushed me over the edge was the printing of tortoise article, monkeys and squirells! frankly i think the paper is rubbish, and the only time i ever buy it now is if say someone like matthew has written an article, so there's something worth reading

i'm all for the new magazine, still not sure where i'm going to get it from yet but i intend to buy it

hello Chris if you have the money you can subrcibe to it.

i read somewhere that the magazine can be got from some local clubs, they buy them for about £2.00 and sell them for £2.50 thus generating a small income for the club, i am told that my local club in Doncaster may be selling them, but i'm not a member.

hi all

about 20 years ago it was worth buying but nowadays its not fit to put at the bottom of the caged,the price for a few pages of adverts is appalling,i get a free paper through my door on a wednesday that has more pages in it and less adverts than that paper the last one i bought was the one with matts article in and thats the only reason i bought it

Hello Karl, Matthew, Chris and Ken,

Although I agree with all of your replies, I think I have been wrong in aiming my anger toward the back page advert this week, my main problem is to do with the first two or three pages of Cage and Aviary Birds week after week.

One of my main objections lies with the articles from Graeme Kirk on page two each week lately, is this guy a member of the RSPCA, and of course Animal Aid? The articles from this guy are printed in a way that expresses the very wrong views of the AR movement (including the views of the New RSPCA), but it is printed in a way that looks as though Kirks views are shared by Cage and Aviary!

If I'm wrong in my assumptions please correct me, if this is not possible, then I must be right in thinking that Cage and Aviary Birds has in fact been infriltrated by the AR.

Again if this is the case then Cage and Aviary Birds will die due to the actions of the AR movement, in my opinion it is a good thing that there will be a new publication to take the place of the tarnished publication known as Cage and Aviary Birds.

Paul.

Hi Paul, my biggest anger in regards to the ad is the sheer boldness of it an entire page.

Its probably unfair to knock all of C&A as at times its a great source for people who do not have the net and there are probably some within the RSPCA that do the job for the right reason which is “Protection of Cruelty of Animals” which have done some good over the years.
Problem is as well as AA the RSPCA would very much like to see an end to birdkeeping and all other animal keeping hobbies come to think & have openly expressed support for the views of AA & the other extremist groups, so C&A including such an ad is to me just like Winston Churchill singing the praises of the SS.

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Karl,

I agree that we shouldn't knock all employees of Cage and Aviary Birds, who knows there may be one of them left who have Birdkeepers interests a heart, and the same could be said for the RSPCA, one or two individuals may infact still remain in employment who truely have the interest of the Animals they care for in their hearts, that is until some idiot decides that particular Animals are better off dead, instead of living out happy and healthy lives with new owners who really do care!

Your last sentence of your post did make me smile because of the irony involved,:) but at the same time I'm seriously angry because the irony is too true.:mad:

I take my hat off to the AR movement in the UK for their Military style in taking over the rellevant organisations and then shouting from within, but if you think you have won your pathetic blinkered fight against us, then you are seriously wrong!!:mad:

The more ground you may seem to win, the more we will fight back!!

Paul.
