People that have never worked with birds or even ever gone outside have decided they know whats best for animals they have zero understanding in, and have brought about a ban in tethering birds of prey. Birds of prey do not fly for fun, they ONLY fly to eat and stop themselves from being eaten, maybe to also find a mate, that is all. They don't enjoy flying and they have no concept of being bored so they are perfectly content to perch for 90% of their life if they're lucky enough to be able to.

Tethering birds of prey is absolutely vital in the training and care of these birds. Keep a bird tethered and it remains calm because it knows it can not go anywhere and it'll wait for you to provide the food and fly them for exercise. Put something like a falcon in an aviary instead and it goes ape shit flapping around, smashing its feathers to pieces and scraping its skin away on the mesh. I've seen this first hand, briefly worked at a zoo where they "upgraded" their tethered birds to aviary's, almost all had lost all their feather tips and had grazed and bruised skin around their face from crashing into the walls of their aviary overnight.

So that being said some thunder cunts decided that naaaah they know their birds better than falconers that have been doing it for two thousand years, and TETHERING IS NOW GOING TO BE BANNED HOORAY!!!
So that previous issue i mentioned aside, this also renders training useless as you can't keep them on a training line to keep them focused or from flying off before they're trained. Clearly these cretins have never heard of dogs or the concepts of dog leashes, because surely they would also be banned, no?
If they're banned for birds that spend 90% of every day in the wild sat still then surely they would be banned for a roaming active pack animal like a dog?

So anyway they approved these "improvements" to zoo's, no zoo can tether birds of prey by 2030. And once that is complete then they're gunning for non zoo's, the small centre's who do demo/education work like where i work. I don't have much going for me in life besides this job, i love my birds and i can't go back to retail/factory work again, this is the only thing i'm good at. I didn't want to find another job and play "is your boss a psychopath again" roulette after my current boss closes up shop so i was going to go self employed, start up my own bird of prey demonstration team. Now that future is now void. Speaking of future, once this ban affects private owners hundreds upon hundreds of captive bred birds of prey will be released into a wild, 90% will die within a week from starvation, the remaining ones will wreak havoc to the native ecosystems.

If you're caught tethering birds no doubt this sub human scum will have your birds seized and potentionally killed to protect them from living a comfortable life with you too. So all in all knowing i have no future anymore is really, really , really fucking me up bad. I'm too retarded to get up together letters and petitions and all that shit, and no one else is really bothering, so once my livelihood is gone along with my birds i wont have much left to keep me going...
