A plan of the activities and equipment needed to move exotic species according to current legislation and welfare codes.
Plan for a Whites Tree Frog:
You will need to make sure you think about the transportation time and route, so whether it will need any food or water for long journeys and any other basic needs the animal has e.g. temperature and humidity control. If it’s a shorter distance and time for travelling then the temperature and humidity might not be as important because it won’t have much of an impact for a shorter time. You must make sure you abide by the legislations of transporting that animal and all the requirements have been met.
1. The first thing to think about transporting a Whites Tree Frog is you know where you are going;

Taking food and water with you is a good idea for when you arrive to give to the bird. Setting up the vehicle and any navigational assistance is best to be done before leaving for the fair. You should also make sure you have your driving licence and someone accompanying you with a licence too so just in case you are unable to drive there is someone else available to at hand. Make sure you have called the fair to make sure they’re ready for the arrival of the frogs. You might need to take any forms of legislation or labelling if needed. You should put the bird cage on the back seat with the seatbelt around the cage to make sure the cage doesn’t move around so much as it being in the boot.
3. Once you have arrived at the fair, giving the animal something to eat and drink is something to be done to make sure the animal’s needs are catered to. You should also do visual and physical checks to make sure the bird is not injured from the journey.

Welfare of Animals (Transport) England Order 2006
This legislation covers the transport of all live vertebrate animals within the EU that takes place for an economic activity (money) and applies to the whole vertebrate family; mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. Transporter authorisation is needed if journeys are over 65km (40 miles), an Animal Transport Certificate is needed for all journeys made.

Have a Type 1 transporter authorisation.

This ensures that trade does not threaten the animals survival. It covers 175 countries and protects over 35,000 species and 30,000 plant species. Regulates the trade in wild animals, plants and ‘products’ (skins, leather, eggs, bones, meat etc.), this includes captive bred animals. CITES has three categories; Appendix 1 - endangered animals, wild caught animals cannot be traded commercially. Appendix 2 - captive bred animals, threatened animals, these can only be commercially traded with proof of legal source. Appendix 3 - species added to the list by certain countries to avoid
What is the most important element of a good story? Although interesting characters, engaging plot development and didactic story lines certainly embellish the story, one could argue that the setting is the most crucial. Not only does the setting provide a baseline of necessary background information, it can also be used to enhance the story, just like the other elements listed. Edgar Allan Poe certainly takes advantage of this in “Hop Frog”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, and the “Masque of the Red Death”. In each of these stories, gruesome horrors occur, and because of the ingenious way Poe uses and manipulates the setting to his advantage, these stories’ horrors are amplified. In “Hop Frog” and “The Cask of Amontillado”, the main characters

The Grey Tree Frog is about two inches in length. Its head is short and broad and its body corpulent (Dickerson, 1969). With a white belly, white rectangular spot under both of its eyes, yellowish orange markings on the inside of the hide legs and black blotches including one that looks like an irregular shaped star on its back this frog is very colorful and exotic looking. Depending on the environment and the stress level of the frog, its colors may change (Centralpets.com, 2004). H. versicolor may actually be any shade of brown, grey, green, or even light yellow or white. The temperature and the intensity of light also affect the frog’s colors. When there is bright light and a higher temperature perhaps it will be a yellowish white with almost no markings. When it’s dark and moist it may be a dark stone gray with dark markings (Dickerson, 1969).
Michael DuBois Mrs. Ermis English 1302.NO2 10 April, 2016 Revenge at its Finest Like most of Edgar Allan Poe’s work the concept behind both of these stories is the themes of death and revenge. In both “The Cask of Amontillado” and “Hop Frog”, Poe makes it a point to reveal the struggles of both characters and that they seek revenge for what has happened in their past. In “Hop Frog” he decides he has had enough when the king slaps his friend Trippetta for sticking up for him. Along with all the vicious jokes and torture that he puts on both Hop Frog and Trippetta, the physical abuse was just the thing that puts Hop Frog over his limit. In the short story “The Cask of Amontillado”, Montresor seeks revenge on Fortunato for the rude embarrassing
The exotic pet trade is a booming industry, raking in millions of dollars every year. Everything from harmless leopard geckos to hyenas can be found in 30 of the 50 states. Of those 30 states, only 21 require permits to own these animals (Webber 2010). Indiana has just recently withdrawn its own requirement for permits, making 10 states that allow any kind of exotics without documentation (Kelly 2015). It is estimated that 15,000 big cats are being kept as pets in the United States alone, with more captive tigers in Texas than there are in India. Approximately 15,000 primates and 7.3 million reptiles are also being kept in the US (Webber 2010). What does all of this mean and, more importantly, what can be done about it?
These numbers illustrate the risk that exotic animals pose to owners and community members. Keith Gisser, an exotic reptile owner, claims he's “not the kind of animal owner neighbours need to worry about”, yet Brian Johnson, Gisser's neighbour, says one of the reptile owner's snakes escaped into his backyard (www.wkyc.com..). Injury and fatalities are a risk, endangering the community when exotic animals are kept as pets, which is yet another reason why owning them should be illegal. Exotic animals carry diseases and infections that can be potentially harmful or fatal to humans, jeopardizing the safety of the community. These diseases range in severity from common ringworm infections in African pygmy hedgehogs to lyssaviruses in pet bats (Belotto et al)....
Most people take a hose, brush, soap, towels, show sticks, feed, medicine, and their show clothes. Once the animal gets to the show it must be washed to get all of the mud off. Depending on if it is a cow, pig, or a goat it may need to be dried using a special blow dryer. Then, the hair of the animal must be brushed correctly. Once the animal is ready, the exhibitor must get ready. The show attire for a pig, goat, and beef cow show is blue jeans, button up flannel or polo, and boots. For dairy cows the exhibitor wears white pants and a white button up with boots. Having everything prepared ahead of time helps out a

Invasive alien species are disrupting and changing the normal ecological functions of biomes, ecosystems, and the biosphere as a whole (CBD, 2009). They are a threat to biodiversity and can cause damage to, or even eradicate native species which natural cycles and other organisms depend on. While disrupting energy flow, food chains, and shaking the structure of ecosystems to the core, invasive species create not only ecological, but also a whole host of social, economical, and health issues that affect the livelihood of almost every organism on earth, including humans (CBD, 2009).
Currently there are three main legislations affecting and protecting the welfare of wild animals in travelling circuses, The Welfare of Wild Animals in Travelling Circuses (England) Regulations 2012, the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and the performing Animals (regulation) Act 1925, (DEFRA,2013; Rees,2013).
