The WinePress reported on this announcement back in April. The implementation of the law and deadline to sign up has begun.
Starting on October 1st, all British homeowners and farmers are required to register the number of birds they own with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), even if it’s just one and if it’s kept as a pet.
This includes all manner of:
- chickens
- turkeys
- aviary birds
- birds of prey
- cassowaries
- ducks
- emus
- geese
- guinea fowls
- kiwis
- ostriches
- partridges
- pheasants
- pigeons
- psittacines (for example parrots, budgies and cockatiels)
- quails
- rheas
The British government plainly states, “You’re breaking the law if you do not register.”
There are two separate registries: one for owning and raising less than 50 birds, and another form for farmers who manage over 50 birds.
According to the registration form for the over 50, APHA explained that the law applies to 50 or more birds kept for any period of time for: the consumption of meat and eggs; other commercial purposes; restocking game birds; or breeding for the three purposes above.
APHA will also ask for contact details, details of the owner of the birds, the location where the birds are kept, and details of the birds that are kept (species, number and what why the owners keep them).
APHA says by registering they will contact the owner “with updates and guidance if there’s a disease outbreak (such as bird flu) in your area,” and says “you’ll help prevent the spread of disease and protect all kept birds, including back-yard flocks” by signing-up.
Naturally there are many residents and farmers that are not happy with this new law, some saying it is “bureaucracy gone crazy.” The BBC reported that this ‘legal deadline [is] designed to prevent fresh outbreaks of bird flu.’
Ray Holmes criticized the law change, arguing: “We have got wildlife flying over,” he said. “There are geese flying over in a morning now. Who knows what is dropping from the sky?”
On top of this, the British government will be forcing farmers to track the emissions in the feces of their livestock.
These changes will go into effect starting on January 1st, 2025, Poultry World reported, forcing farmers across England to report their nitrogen and phosphorus excretion levels each year. The outlet added:
Farmers are being urged to look at the Best Available Techniques conclusion document, produced by the European Commission in 2017, which sets out new requirements to monitor and report emissions from permitted farms for comparison with the BAT-associated levels.
The following farm types must comply with the BAT requirements:
- Poultry farms with more than 40,000 rearing places
- All permitted pig farms
However, nitrogen and phosphorus reporting is not required for pullets, breeders and quails and phosphorus reporting is not required for ducks.
Farmers can report levels using one of the following methods:
- Mass balance tools: The Environment Agency has developed new mass balance tools that simplify the calculation of excretion levels in different poultry production systems.
- Slurry/manure sampling results: Alternatively, farmers can report excretion levels based on slurry or manure handling data.
New mass balance calculator tools have been produced by the Environment Agency and industry trade bodies to help farmers with their reporting, with information and support provided on the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board website.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This has nothing to do with health: it’s purely control and consolidation of the food supply, and knowing who owns what and busting their chops about it. ‘Oh, you have ‘X’ number of chickens in your backyard? Looks like we’ll have to up your carbon tax and deduct some of your social credit tokens from your digital wallet,’ they’ll eventually be saying.
Readers will know that I have been saying that bird flu would be used to justify and implement more top-down control and oppression of the masses, effecting what they can purchase, what they can raise, and what we can eat. We know that the elitist government and the “useful idiots” want us to stop eating meat, and this bird flu plandemic, or whatever they’ll call it, will be orchestrated to radically transform the food and agriculture systems around the world.
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
