 All restrictions are lifted as from noon today pending further investigations.

 

This decision is subject to change upon results from Animal Health.

:emoticon-0137-clapping: :emoticon-0137-clapping: Good decisions made , glad to see normality restored

[Guest strapper]

further tests are ongoing to come to a conclusion what the problem is.

Do members really think its a good idea to start racing when there could be birds on the transporter that could be carrying a potential lethal disease.

if they have been given the go ahead they must have there reasons why unions and especially defra wont take many chances

Just seems a bit strange that people like Defra would give the go ahead when further tests are ongoing.

until we know the info we wont know why the came to the decision can see where your coming from maybe they have ruled out certain diseases are the affected lofts are still under surveillance there would be standard procedures that they follow im thinking id imagine the paperwork etc for stuff like this is unreal and not a lot left to chance

[Tony C]

I'd like to applaud all those involved for their honesty & integrity.

As I posted earlier D.E.F.R.A. would only test for PMV and give the all clear.

Further Update

 

At 3pm today the WHPU was informed by the

ANIMAL HEALTH Veterinary Service that Paramyxovirus HAS been identified in one of the lofts in Wales.

 

 Thankfully due to the actions taken last weekend DEFRA have agreed WE CAN continue racing for the present!

 

 As PARAMYXOVIRUS is a “notifiable†disease

DEFRA have now taken over control of the measures regarding the original “outbreak†at lofts in Wales

 

 In Summary – PARAMYXOVIRUS is confirmed!

agree with you totally and think further preventative measures should be taken---a line drawn straight across the country at birmingham and everone south of this should be stopped from raceing training and showing----and even letting their birds out.

DONT U AGREE PIGEON MAN.
