@SimonPease1@DwWork2 A joint statement from Great Britain’s three Chief Veterinary Officers:
We have taken swift action to limit the spread of the disease and have introduced a legal requirement for all poultry and captive bird keepers to keep their birds housed or otherwise separate from wild birds.
@SimonPease1@DwWork2 .
Whether you keep just a few birds or thousands, you are now legally required to keep your birds indoors, or take appropriate steps to keep them separate from wild birds. We have not taken this decision
@SimonPease1@DwWork2 lightly, but it is the best way to protect your birds from this highly infectious disease.

“It is heartening to know that European Union leaders have succeeded in meeting one of the toughest challenges in the organization’s history by agreeing a package of measures to rescue their economies from the disruption caused by the pandemic.
July 22, 2020
Once again, the European Union has shown the importance of taking the common interests of all its members into account. Through persistent negotiation and compromise the respective leaders have reached an agreement. This shows wisdom and maturity in a world often unsettled
My @dogs4EU, like all of us are getting old. They need medicines for debilitating conditions of old age. #arthritis#Pain#epilepsy drugs. Yesterday, I found that my vet couldn’t find my Bonnie’s medicine. Eventually, found a new supplier which cost me £15 more. #AnimalWelfare
My @dogs4EU are my family. @SODEMAction@No10Vigil@wooferendum knows them. They were by my side. Now they are frail, I won’t let them suffer. But what if medicines run out? Are pet owners and farmers aware that #NoDealMeansNoMeds due to customs delays. #Brexit raised cost.
How many pets will suffer, be abandoned or even put to sleep as owners can’t/won’t buy their life saving medicines? My vet is very upset. Double whammy of #COVID__19 and No Deal will cause millions of #animals to die! Avoidable deaths of innocents! @DogsTrust is aware. Are you???
Yesterday was #NoDealMeansNoMeds day. Are you on any medication? Do you have “pre-existing conditions” facing #COVID19? Do you have pets & care about #AnimalWelfare? Do you think 60,000+ deaths are too many? @WendyNowak had this to say on Facebook. Worth taking seriously. Thread
”Today we are protesting against something which should have been picked up by mainstream media a long time ago, but those of us who rely on regular medication have always been an afterthought. #NoDealMeansNoMeds
“We're worthless according to the government. We've been promised fridges and non-existent ferries so far. That's how much they care. According to the Operation Yellowhammer report THREE QUARTERS of our medication is imported. No-deal is not just about economic downturn.
DO YOU WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO GIVE YOUR CHILDREN TO EAT?
When you shop in a UK supermarket anywhere, you want to be sure that the food you buy is safe for you and your family to eat. Do you ever wonder who ensures that you can shop with confidence?

How many families have a loved one coping/fighting #Cancer#epilepsy, needs #dialysis or insulin for #diabetes? Due to #COVID2019 there’s 2.4m backlog, a 10m waiting list expected through no deal. Shortage/delay of medicines from the EU would be the last straw. #No2DeathByNoDeal
