CHICKEN must be popular!

A Planning Application has gone in to DOUBLE the size of the existing chicken "factory" in Maisemore from 94,000 birds to 188,000 by building an identical shed alongside the existing one. 


It will be at the same level necessitating a lot of excavation, with the spoil formed into a small hill and landscaped. 

Check out the Planning documents at https://publicaccess.tewkesbury.gov.uk/online-applications/centralDistribution.do?caseType=Application&keyVal=QVXLVBQDGAO00 

Any responses will need to be submitted by late August. This is before the next Parish Council meeting. Subject to demand we may have a special meeting to discuss this. Please contact the clerk - Leo Williams - clerk@maisemore-pc.org.uk - c/o The Paddock, Main Road, Huntley, Gloucestershire, GL19 3EA - 07896 901800

DOGGY D N A - How To Protect Your Pup

 

From Neighbourhood Watch:


Currently we are seeing a rise in the thefts of not only ‘working’ dogs but also treasured pets which are then ransomed back to the owner or used for breeding purposes. There have also been instances where owners who have advertised the loss of a dog, have been asked for cash for the return of the animal but when money is paid, it transpired that the criminal was never in possession of the dog and it was just a scam to obtain the cash.

We have all seen on TV that criminals have been caught as a result of their DNA being found at a crime scene. DNA like fingerprints are unique to an individual and the same applies to animals, in particular to your dog. Their DNA is unique to them and cannot be altered or removed like a data chip.

It is easy and straight forward to obtain the DNA from your dog, a simple mouth swab is used to collect the sample, which is sent to the laboratory where the swab is analysed to generate the DNA profile. The DNA profile is then added to the Forensic Dog DNA Database.

The problem has always been how to identify an animal positively when it is recovered into Police possession, DNA now give’s a reliable and positive result to that question, which can be used in court.

This is a positive way of identifying your dog and getting it back to you should it be lost or worse happens and it gets stolen.

The DNA swabbing kits are available from https://www.dnaprotected.co.uk/
