“I am very proud to be a patron of CAPS. There is never any excuse for keeping animals locked up in circuses, zoos and similar captive environments. CAPS has been doing sterling work for over 50 years, and I am sure they will continue to do so for as long as there are animals being held in captivity.”

Edgar has been a patron of CAPS for many years. He has been a general practitioner and a longstanding member of the ancient Isle of Man Parliament, the Tynwald, where, over the years, he held major positions in the Manx Government. At the same time he has been involved in most of the Manx animal charities and has chaired the Pets Aid League, the Manx SPLG and is currently the Chair of the Home of Rest for Old Horses. Edgar was also involved in the formation of the Manx Cat Sanctuary. He negotiated the end of the annual auction of the retiring old tram horses, who now live out their lives in peace at the Home of Rest for Old Horses, just outside Douglas, on the Isle of Man.
