点评:I’m absolutely appalled by the living standards for the animals at this farm! Firstly you walk in and the goats have the smallest space, no free roam access to grass this is then limiting them from being able to display natural behaviours such as grazing, this also applies to the sheep, cows and pigs (this breaks the Animal Welfare Act 2006).
The chickens are living on what looks like a construction site with substrate consisting of rubble this seems to have affected the chickens as I saw at least 7 of them with severe feather plucking which is caused by stress. This was the case for the duck in there with them also (this is another violation to the Animal Welfare Act 2006 due to a lack of appropriate live space and natural behaviours) . Due to the lack of grass and grazing opportunities it is evident that they are not able to exhibit their natural behaviour.
The Guinea pigs had minimal bedding, old veg, dirty water bowls and every water bottle I saw had green algae in it. Working with these animals myself I know that it only gets like that after weeks of poor cleaning. Not to mention the lack of water in the bottles! It was 25 degrees today so animals must have been suffering!!
I could go onto the other animals in their care but I think you get the point. It is a disgrace and I am very concerned for these animals! I work in animal rescue and have worked on farms so I know the standard of care these animals need.
See for yourselves from the few pictures I got and these are not even the worst of it.
翻译:我对这家农场里动物的生存条件感到极为震惊!一进农场,就能看到山羊们的活动空间极其狭小,它们根本无法自由到户外吃草,这严重限制了它们表现出诸如觅食等自然行为。同样的情况也存在于绵羊、奶牛和猪身上(这种行为违反了《2006年动物福利法》)。这些鸡生活在一个看似建筑工地的环境中,地面上全是碎石。这种情况显然对鸡只产生了影响:我至少看到7只鸡出现了严重的啄羽现象,而这正是压力所致。与它们同处一处的鸭子也是如此(这种情况同样违反了《2006年动物福利法》,因为它们缺乏足够的活动空间以及进行自然行为的条件)。由于缺乏草料和放牧条件,很明显这些豚鼠无法展现出它们的自然行为。
这些豚鼠的垫料极少,只有一些变质的蔬菜,水碗也脏兮兮的;我看到的每一个水瓶里都有绿色藻类。我自己也照料过这类动物,深知只有连续数周疏于清洁才会出现这种状况。更不用说水瓶里几乎没有水了!今天气温高达25摄氏度,这些动物肯定受苦不少!!我可以接着描述他们照料的其他动物,但我想你们应该明白我的意思了。这简直是耻辱,我为这些动物深感担忧!我从事动物救助工作,也曾在农场工作过,因此很清楚这些动物需要怎样的照料。
从我拍到的这几张照片中你们就能看出来,而这些甚至还不是最糟糕的情况。
