Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
It's jumping for joy following the announcement that the Animal Welfare Act 1999 is to be reviewed by the Government.
The parliamentary Regulations Review Committee has told the Government to conduct a prompt review of the process for developing secondary legislation under the act, and whether all secondary legislation, particularly codes of welfare, are consistent with the intentions of the act.
A review of the act is not something too many people would oppose.
But banning winter grazing? We say wishful thinking on the part of SAFE.
