PLEASE sign this petition

This poor couple from Gateshead have been told by their local council that they must get rid of their 2 pet hens as they are classed as livestock rather than pets or they will face eviction (see BBC news link below).

Please please sign this petition to have hens reclassified as pets rather than livestock http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/GardenPoultry/

More details from petition creator

We believe that people should be encouraged to become self-sufficient as possible. Properly kept, domestic hens pose no nuisance to anyone.

The keeping of cockerels is not included as a right in this proposal.

There is also a Facebook Group for this cause http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=6898&post=24098&uid=55594908075#/group.php?gid=55594908075 PLEASE JOIN

HAPPY EGGS FROM HAPPY RoSAH HENS

YET ANOTHER URGENT APPEAL FOR SNAIL HOMES!

We have lots of baby Giant African Land Snails for rehoming. They're only fingernail sized at present (and growing rapidly) but will grow to the size whereby they will sit on your palm. They grow very fast too.

Ours live in plastic toyboxes with holes in the lid and have compost in the base but if you look on ebay for snail stuff, there are many different substrates that people use in theirs.
Snails eat leaves, salad and pretty much what garden snails will eat. We mist ours daily with a plant mister to keep them moist. They also need a cuttlefish bone to maintain a healthy shell.

If you are interested in rehoming some, we recommend this website for information- http://www.freewebs.com/worldofsnails/giantafricansnails.htm

We are happy to rehome these free of charge although any donations are always welcome (even if in fruit and veg, lol) Rehomers must be over 16 years old and responsible enough so that if for ANY reason you cannot keep them at any point in their lives, you MUST return them to us in a suitable container which they can live in.

These snails are in Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire. Please email rosahrescue@aol.com if you are interested in rehoming any.

3 kittens will be available 19th November

3 beautiful kittens will be available for rehoming on the 19th of November when they will be weaned, wormed, Frontlined and microchipped and hopefully litter trained (or partially so)
Due to the cost of the microchipping and other treatments a donation of £15 will be required per kitten.
We have 2 ginger girls and one which is black-ish but not a complete black. Has pretty markings.
A non refundable £10 deposit is required in either cash or paypal.

If you are interested in rehoming a kitten, please contact us at rosahrescue@aol.com with your name, address and contact number so we can send you a rehoming form.

We are based in South Lincolnshire!
