I'm ecstatic, the Dutch methodology for the Positive List of mammal species who may be kept as pets held up in court today.

The ruling is a clear signal to the #EuropeanUnion that it is time to move forward with an EU-wide #PositiveList, #WildAnimalsNotPets

💔 Your pet fish, bird or hamster is probably miserable.

A new @voxdotcom piece lays out how “small” pets suffer most in captivity & why it’s time to rethink who we’re allowed to keep as pets.

An EU #PositiveList isn’t radical. It’s overdue!

💔 Wild animals are suffering behind closed doors.

In Scotland, some exotic pets are being killed at home by their owners. This cruelty stems from a broken system that allows wild species to be kept as pets.

🇪🇸😢 Horrific scenes from Spain show once again why the EU must strengthen #animalwelfare + traceability rules for cats & dogs + adopt an EU-wide #PositiveList for exotic pets.

Only strong, consistent laws can stop such cruelty & illegal trade.

On my way back from #Strasbourg... Great win for 😺🐶 today ! MEPs finally showed up for animals and adopted :
➡️ inclusion of small breeders in the proposal
➡️ I&R for all 🐱🐶 held by natural persons
➡️ opening for a #PositiveList for pets (defining which animals can be kept at home)

Now to trilogue💪
