Hi everyone,
This is my first thread, basically at Harewood House BirdGarden, management are planning to make two keepers redundant and get rid of loads of birds including a critically endangered breeding population of Waldrapp Ibis.
They have recently made really extravagant purchases on unnecessary items like new uniforms because they were the wrong colour, hideous fencing and the relocation of a perfectly good office (so they can make the old one into another tea room to get more money out of visitors). These expenditures totalled over 100K which would have paid the wages of these keepers for another three years.
The keepers work long hours, 365 days of the year and have all worked there for years. The Harewood House Management have recently appointed a new manager Mr Mike Schafer who has bulldozed his way through the place making mistake after mistake and now he want to make loyal and hard-working staff redundant and get rid of several important populations of brids, like the aforementioned Waldrapp Ibis.
I don't know if this will do any good but i have started a facebook group in support of the keepers and the birds, in a few days we have got over 100 members but we need more if we are to make Mr Schafer stop and listen.
So please if you have a spare moment can join my facebook group in support of these guys,
