🐷🚜 Farms in Swansea Face Restrictions After Stream Clean-Up 🚜🐔
Swansea is buzzing with news of local farms facing restrictions after disturbing discoveries in a nearby stream. Animal by-products were reportedly dumped into the water, which serves as a crucial resource for the farms. On October 22, Swansea Council’s trading standards officers stepped up their game by retrieving these items and rescuing several pigs and chickens from a field next to the stream.
Fast forward to November 12, and the council is in action mode, clearing the waste and placing restrictions on animal movements to shield local livestock. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is all hands on deck, guiding these precautions to safeguard animal welfare.
With the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs behind them, along with Welsh and Scottish Governments, the APHA is on a mission to protect our animal and plant health. The precise number of farms affected remains under wraps, but the message is loud and clear: steps are being taken to address this serious issue.
Remember, if you spot anything odd related to farm animal welfare, don’t hesitate to reach out to local trading standards. Your vigilance can make all the difference!
👀 Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, and let’s work together to ensure the health and safety of our animal friends! 🐾💧
