Disappointing news for the poultry fancy this morning as the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) puts its foot squarely on the throat of our hobby.
It’s so frustrating to see clueless civil servants in London come to this conclusion, despite the best efforts of The Poultry Club - in particular Lee Grant and Jon Grubb.
We’ll discuss this in more detail in our next episode of the pod. In the meantime, while this is a blow to all of us, a reminder that our birds give us 365 days of enjoyment - not just a few weekends. For the sake of the breeds we all love, they’re worth persevering with. And of course the fight to return our shows will continue!
