October 1 Marked Day One For Brits Having To Register Their Backyard Chickens With Government: All Unregistered Birds Are Now ILLEGAL

(Natural News) The month of October in the year of our Lord 2024 has begun, which means everyone in Great Britain who has backyard chickens must have the birds fully registered with the government.

As of October 1, it is now illegal in the United Kingdom to have chickens on your property that the government does not know exist. Whether you raise them as pets or for food, all chickens, pigeons and birds of prey in England, Wales and Scotland must now be registered with the authorities.

Great Britain’s original claim was that all backyard chickens must now be registered with the government because otherwise they will spread avian flu and put everyone at risk. Many now see through this obvious cover story lie.

Under the previous rules, only flocks of 50 or more birds had to be registered with the government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Now, the government is demanding to know about even just one single bird on a person’s property, even if that bird’s eggs are strictly for personal use.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

Thanks, Rishi Sunak

Brits have former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to thank for this egregious new requirement. It was a “consultation exercise” conducted by the Sunak regime that ultimately led to the Labour government implementing the new measure.

Less than 3,500 members of the public responded to Sunak’s exercise. And of these, only 13 percent expressed support for requiring all individual birds to be registered and tracked by the government.

“There has been an outpouring of frustration that people will have to comply with another level of bureaucracy,” commented Jane Howorth, who heads up the British Hen Welfare Trust, a group that supports the change but with one worry: that volunteers will be deterred from keeping “rescue hens” on their property.

As of now, psittacines and passerines (budgies, parrots, canaries and other similar species) are exempt from the new rule as long as they are kept within a dwelling or inside a dedicated “bird house” that has no access to the outdoors.

Every other type of bird, including chickens, must now be registered as part of an annual record-keeping exercise managed by DEFRA. Violators risk being fined £5,000 (€5,989) or imprisoned for six months.

Ironically, the new rule came into effect within a week of the UK being officially declared as bird flu-free.

“So do we unregister the chicken we’re having tonight?” joked someone on X / Twitter about the ridiculous new rule.

“I’ve been trying to register my flock for two days but my initial email never comes,” said another. “I’m going to be ticked if I go to jail for poultry crimes.”

Others joked about how they are registering their frozen chicken pieces and “chicken breasts in the fridge” with UK authorities.

“Do you think I need to register the eggs, too?” one asked mockingly. “Future chickens?”

Another quoted Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which the new rule clearly violates:

“Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food (chickens), clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social etc.”

“What if my chickens identify themselves as cats?” asked another, jokingly referencing all the LGBT gender dysphoria and perversion being pushed on American society by reckless deviants.

“How will they find out?” asked another. “Will they come to count my eggs?”

If We the People let them, the government will take away all our rights and turn us into slaves in order to “protect” us – and many would argue this has already happened. Learn more at Tyranny.news.
