identified as not routinely scanning pet carcasses, together with further
comments from the petitioners. In light
of a recent reference to another local authority in relation to this issue,
Members agreed to seek further clarification about which local authorities do
not scan pet carcasses with a view to potentially writing to the Cabinet
Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs, to suggest she issues further
guidance on the matter.
