Austin Sports & Social Club in Longbridge Receives Praise for Preventing Illegal Snake Market On Its Premises

On Tuesday 15 October, 2024, the Austin Sports & Social Club in Longbridge, Birmingham, took a stand against animal cruelty by preventing a planned snake market from taking place on its premises. The event, which was scheduled for Saturday 12th October 2024, was shut down thanks to the swift actions of both the Social Club and the Birmingham City Council. The Council has also received commendation for acting promptly on intelligence to uphold the law.

The decision to prevent the market from taking place comes after a recent increase in attempts to hold reptile markets in the Birmingham area. Animal welfare organisations are now cautioning venues in the city to be vigilant and not to accept bookings for any reptile-related events.

According to scientific research, trading pet animals over market stalls is illegal due to the poor welfare conditions that are inherent to temporary, makeshift events. Snakes, in particular, require ample space to stretch for their well-being, but at markets, they are often confined to small, plastic boxes. In addition to adequate space, captive snakes also have specific temperature, lighting, and humidity requirements that are often neglected at markets.

Reptile market organisers often deceive unsuspecting venues by claiming their events are “shows”, “breeders’ meetings”, or “exhibitions”, when in reality, they are commercially-driven markets. The Animal Protection Agency received a tip-off about the secretly organised snake market and promptly alerted both the Council and the Social Club. Their swift actions have been described as “commendable”.

Elaine Toland, Director of the Animal Protection Agency, stated, “Snakes are sentient and intelligent animals that do not deserve to be subject to the appalling maltreatment that is typical of reptile markets. The Council and the Social Club were given very little time to respond, but they pulled out all the stops to ensure illegal trading did not take place. Their actions are commendable.”

Dr. Andrew, Director of Freedom for Animals, also expressed gratitude to the Austin Sports & Social Club for taking prompt action to prevent the illegal market. He added, “It has been well documented that illegal trading takes place at these events, and we are pleased that Birmingham City Council and the Social Club acted on the information provided. We hope that all local authorities and potential venues take similar action in the future.”

Dr. Charlotte Regan, Wildlife Campaign Manager for World Animal Protection, stated, “Reptile markets are inherently associated with a number of highly concerning animal welfare issues. They are outdated events that should have no place in our society. We thank The Austin Sports & Social Club and Birmingham City Council for taking decisive action to protect animals.”

In addition to safeguarding animal welfare, the actions taken by the Austin Sports & Social Club and Birmingham City Council also served to protect human health. Reptile markets present a significant health hazard due to reptile-related salmonellosis, especially in venues where food and drinks are consumed. There is also a risk of post-event contamination, which could pose a danger to vulnerable groups such as children or the elderly who may use the venue after the market.
