Nocton super dairy: Not in my Cuppa!
'The plans for a "super dairy" in the village of Nocton, Lincolnshire are causing quite a stir locally and nationally. Former Brigg MP Ian Cawsey is now involved with the WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) in its campaign to prevent the plans being approved.'

Please Act Now to Oppose Plans for Super-Dairy
'The businesses behind the factory farm are trying to be clever with their timing by re-submitting the application so that the consultation period falls over the Christmas break. Their hope is that it will slip through on the quiet, as none of the previous objections will count.
That is why it is more important than ever to make your feelings clear again. We have until the 11 January to object. If this mega-dairy goes ahead it will open the floodgates to similar animal prisons across the UK. We have to act - and we have to act now!'

Environment Agency moves to help farmers
'Spreading milk on snow or frozen land would normally be a breach of pollution and waste regulations because it can cause more harm than sewage if it flows into rivers, killing fish and other aquatic wildlife.'

Can you imagine Nocton Dairies spreading their daily production of 107,250 litres of milk on the fields surrounding the local villages - it doesn't bear thinking about now does it?
Merry Christmas
Seasons greetings to all my blog readers. Enjoy your break.
