New Licensing Procedures for Beast Handlers

Increased Surveillance of Waterways
23 September 2018 - Radical Futurists were discovered late last night, having made their headquarters onboard a vessel docked at the Waterways. The terrorists were caught printing propaganda for illicit dissemination.

"While the Waterways have long enjoyed freedom from surveillance, we must now acknowledge that this freedom comes at too high a price," reads a statement from Minister of Magic, Solomon Carstairs. "Where these radicals are concerned, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye."

Residents and frequent visitors of the Wix Waterways can expect to be questioned by aurors in the following days. The public is asked to continue practicing bubblehead charms to safeguard against possible Myst attacks[...]

A Locked Closet
10th September 2018 - Complaints are pouring in regarding new rules as popular queer night club The Closet has been forced to shut its doors until further inspection. Owner Salvador Falcon hopes authorities will realise "this isn't just a matter of convenience" as The Closet has been a safe haven and refuge for queer wixes over the years, practically a fixture of magical night life.

Establishments secreted in muggle areas are especially targeted by new restrictions, and for good reason. Their locations make them vulnerable to Futurist attacks. It is ostensibly for the well-being of both patrons and muggles that inspections must be taken seriously by all involved.

The Closet is predicted to re-open in early October, although this is subject to how soon it will be able to comply to new policies. Muggles, regardless of their association with wixkind, will no long be allowed into non-essential spaces such as night clubs[...]

Blood Feedings Turn Bizarre
19 September 2018 -  Tensions are beginning to subside with the West Bow Revenants, a small coven of vampires in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Revenants, reticent in adapting to the legalization of consensual feeding, were believed to be behind the increased attacks on muggles since June. A spokes-vampire for the coven has denied these allegations.

"We are proficient in policing our members. The last time a member went out of line with frenzied, unsustainable feedings was in Gorbals, Glasgow, in 1954, and they were promptly staked after the breach."

The Revenants, who manufacture Blood Lollipops, claim there must be a younger, less experienced vampire behind these brazen attacks. The muggle are in now way connected. Wix frequenting Candlestick Row and Knareswick Phrontistery are cautioned to be on the lookout[...]
