#NFUCymru23

Privileged to be at the @nfucymru conference at Llandrindod Wells today.

Hearing about the many daily challenges our farming communities face here in Wales.

Rural crime is just one of those challenges, so hearing concerns is vital.

Working breakfast...very busy day, so I need to fuel up!!!

Excellent choice for new Deputy Chief Constable 👍👏

This week we met #Farmers , #landowners and #gamekeepers discussing their current #Deer #poaching issues.
In response we carried out #OpFallow last night in partnership with Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales Rangers, targeting the affected areas.
Great to also be joined by High Sheriff of Gwent for this Operation!

The most quintessential British photo I've ever taken

Tomorrow we are running a specific course to educate our Welsh Rural Officers on the offences of Hunting with Hounds.

This type of training is vital to our rural officers to be aware of the law and the offences 👍

Good evening everyone, I'm over in Westminster for an important discussion on the links between domestic abuse and animal cruelty.

So important to have this discussion

Never forgotten....

Wow.....used to play there as a kid. Never seen it like that!!

Honoured to present at the National UK Rural & Wildlife Crime Conference on our ongoing ground breaking coordinated work in Wales.
So much positivity & progress in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A quick sneak peek of what’s to come on the new series of Coast & Country…

We’ll be back on your screens on Friday 3rd November. See you soon!

Proud to play my part and great to get key people together to discuss an important subject

From today. the use of snares or glue traps in Wales is illegal! 🙌🎉

Both have the potential to cause immeasurable suffering to animals. Too often, our officers have dealt with animals in severe pain and misery at the hands of these devices.

Today is a day to celebrate! 👏

Today is a historic day as we become the first UK nation to introduce a ban on snares & glue traps.

These devices can cause animals a great deal of suffering, including to our family pets.

We’re proud Wales is leading the way in protecting the health and welfare of animals.

Ban on snares and glue traps in Wales in UK first | UK News | Sky News news.sky.com/story/ban-on-s…

Next week from Oct 17th the use of snares and glue traps in Wales becomes illegal.

I agree with you they are effective in catching targeted animals but they are indiscriminate in their choice and often catch other animals such as dogs, cats, badgers, deer and many others who are left with horrendous injuries or die in the most prolonged and cruelest of ways

A reminder on the new law banning the use of snares and glue traps in Wales from next week......
