Dirty, run down, expensive and needs a complete re-vamp with better facilities for the animals.
Totnes Rare Breeds Farm的点评
点评:The children enjoyed petting the Guinea pigs ( they sit on their Laps) and seeing the owls and ducks. There are washing facilities with small sinks for little ones which is very good. There’s a nice picnic area and cafe (expensive).
On the down side, I was very upset to see the conditions these animals are kept in. Their enclosures are far too small and filthy. The ducks ‘bath’ is tiny in every instance and extremely dirty and this appears to be their only source of drinking water too- totally inadequate, especially on a hot day. The rabbits’ enclosure ( concrete) is small and filthy with flies buzzing around them- very sad. The owls looked so sad and bored, being chained to a small tree stump the whole time the farm is open. These are gorgeous, intelligent creatures and it’s heart breaking to see them on display like this. While we were there, the was no sign of a person to watch over them and make sure they were protected. The whole ‘farm’ is filthy, run down and out-dated and needs a complete re-vamp. Entry is expensive and literally takes 45 minutes to look around, even with little ones stopping to feed the ducks/ goats and pet the Guinea pigs. There is a message stating the geese bite. These are two huge geese behind an inadequate fence- so please ensure your child is supervised to avoid an accident waiting to happen!
Until this farm cleans up it’s act and looks after it’s animals better, I wouldn’t recommend visiting - I certainly won’t be back with my children.
翻译:孩子们喜欢抚摸豚鼠(它们坐在自己的腿上)并观看猫头鹰和鸭子。有洗漱设施,还有小水槽,适合小孩子,非常好。有一个不错的野餐区和咖啡馆(昂贵)。
不利的一面是,我对这些动物的饲养条件感到非常不安。它们的围栏太小而且肮脏。鸭子的“浴缸”在任何情况下都很小,而且非常脏,这似乎也是它们唯一的饮用水来源——完全不够,尤其是在炎热的天气里。兔子的围栏(混凝土)又小又脏,苍蝇在它们周围嗡嗡作响——非常悲伤。农场开放期间,猫头鹰们被拴在一个小树桩上,看上去既悲伤又无聊。这些都是美丽而聪明的生物,看到它们像这样展示令人心碎。当我们在那里时,没有人看管他们并确保他们受到保护。整个“农场”肮脏、破旧、过时,需要彻底翻新。入场费用昂贵,而且实际上需要 45 分钟才能环顾四周,即使小孩子停下来喂鸭子/山羊并抚摸豚鼠也是如此。有一条消息说鹅被咬了。这是两只巨大的鹅,它们躲在不完善的围栏后面——所以请确保您的孩子受到监督,以免发生事故!
在这个农场清理其行为并更好地照顾动物之前,我不建议参观 - 我当然不会和我的孩子们一起回来。
