[Loch-ruadh] 3-kings fiasco

I thank you, Chris for this info. I've been in the SCA for 4 years and have never heard of this rule. I cannot remember seeing any notation regarding paperwork for animals on any website hosting events....here or up north. My SCA handbook is more than 4 years old so I need a new one. Texas law? So be it. Up north, dog tags suffice. I have a friend up north who has several bats and breeds Frisian war horses...no one said anything to her except in the case of when she represents the SCA in parades or mundane type of event.  I'm not sorry for my out-spokenness or percieved, yet unintentional rudeness, for I think it is a silly rule concerning anything other than livestock or dangerous exotic animals (lions and tigers and such). I do, however, appologize for saying that the information was not listed in the 3 K event website. For that, I'm quite sorry to have said.

As a long time gate worker, who has even refused entrance to minors without
the proper paper work; Please allow me to insert a few words.

This information is on each SCA ad about 99% of the time and it should be
100% of the time.

This applies to most animals.  Horses have to have a Coggins ( spelled
something like that ) test result paper to get in the gate.  If it has fur,
I believe it requires a rabies certificate.  I think the only thing that
gets in without papers, are feathered friends. And an awful lot of them are
banded anyway.

When you get your animal a rabies vaccination, I believe the law requires
that they give you a paper certificate because metal tags can be changed
from animal to animal.  The tags only show a number and the vets name and
phone number usually.  The certificate makes an attempt to describe the
breed and looks of the animal as well.

I am sorry you all and Luther missed the event as well,  They even had
'coursing' for the dogs.
Please try again, especially at this site; it is a great one for
animals.  They have so much room for all the things they need to do and
places for them to play with their people.

troll )
