Hi David,
No, our government has so far not been all that busy
enforcing these EU laws upon us. Just like the rule
that all animals have to be tagged, we know it is
there and there have been some warnings on television
but so far hardly any hobby farmer has done so. Even
the goats in the goat dairy farm, which is now a town
council project, they have about 350, are not tagged.
Come to think of it neither are the animals in any of
the children farms in our town.
All the small slaughterhouses here are still open and
slaughtering animals is mostly still done by butchers,
without the presence of a vet.
I guess our government is way behind, but on the other
hand it is very difficult to have Dutch keeping to
strange laws they don't believe in. As we would say:
wat een onzin, nonsense!
take care,
Lina
ps, how is your hand?
