Apr. 05 Money, Politics no comments

The bad weather that occurred in some parts in the UK has affected a lot of farmers. There were plenty of lost sheep during the heavy snow last month. Due to this unpredicted event, the farmers will be expected to make an appeal addressed to the minister. The said farmers would appeal for an emergency aid. It was in March when a very heavy snow has greatly affected Wales. The farmers say that there were a hundred of lambs lost during the weather disturbance.

The Food and Natural Resources Minister, Alun Davies will be meeting the affected farmers to discuss about the issue regarding the financial aid they were appealing for. As a response to the plea of the farmers, the Minister said that he has to be fair to other parts of the economy including the taxpayers. The Minister also added that the affected farmers already received an amount of £260 Million that is part of the Common Agricultural Policy of EU.

It was also reported that there were a lot of business affected because of the weather disturbance that had occurred in March. The businesses were also facing problems financially. The Minister said that if the affected business will be compensated and other will not receive, it would be unfair. He was firm in saying that the government has to be fair to the farmers and the taxpayers. He said he would not accept the financial aid to farmers because a payout has already been given in the last few months. Although the minister is expected to hear the side of the farmers including their appeal, there is a possibility that he might reconsider it.

Feb. 06 Family, London News Comments Off

Who among us doesn’t love pets, especially when it’s as cute as a pet dog? It is said that dogs are man’s best friend a reason why most of the household have a dog in their family. They would treat the said pets as their own. Somehow, families would prefer to have a pet dog to guard their homes from burglars and to have someone to play with.

Owning a dog in a family is also teaching the children at home to be responsible by taking care of their pets. Often times, there is a tendency where these types of pets may be lost out of nowhere while taking a stroll or probably might run outside the families backyard and taken by bystanders. There is also a huge possibility that the dogs will be one of the stray dogs roaming around the streets without any owners taking responsibility of having them.
Meanwhile, the government of England has proposed a plan to trace and identify and even classify the dogs or any pet a family or an individual owns. Due April 2016, the animals in England should have a micro chip with them.

This is intended to minimize the number of many stray pets. This will be called as part of the Animal Welfare’s Act and the citizens in England should comply with it or would be given a fine amounting to £500. This is a genuine plan to track down the pets because the micro chip would include the information about the owner including his or her contact details. The size of the micro chip would probably be like a piece of rice granules that would be enclosed with a special code that would determine the owner of the pet.
