点评:We visited Ambewela Farm during our honeymoon and honestly wish we had never come. What should have been a pleasant, scenic stop turned into a disturbing and upsetting experience that cast a shadow over what is meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
The reality of this place bears no resemblance whatsoever to the advertising. Promotional images and online listings show cows grazing on lush green fields in open countryside, suggesting a humane, natural farm environment. In reality, the animals we saw were kept almost entirely in concrete buildings with concrete floors, with no access to grass, natural habitat, or direct sunlight.
The conditions were visibly dirty and bleak. The rabbits were the most distressing - confined to tiny, overcrowded cages, with multiple rabbits forced into each small enclosure, unable to move freely or behave naturally. The goats were kept in cramped box-like pens, often with three or four goats squeezed into a space barely large enough for one, including mothers and young separated into very small additional pens while the young feed and grow.
Nothing about this felt educational, ethical, or aligned with modern animal welfare standards. Instead, it felt like animals were being displayed purely for tourism, with comfort and welfare coming far from second.
To experience this on our honeymoon was genuinely upsetting, and we left feeling saddened rather than enriched. Based on what we personally witnessed, the marketing imagery is misleading, and visitors who care about animals should be aware that what is shown online does not reflect the conditions on site.
To top it off, we found it extremely hypocritical and ironic that during our visit we encountered a sign which read ‘obstructions and cruelty to animals is a punishable offence’. If this statement were true, this entire facility would have been shut down a long time ago.
I would strongly not recommend this place to anyone expecting a humane, open, or natural farm environment.
翻译:我们在蜜月旅行期间去了安贝维拉农场,说实话,真后悔去了那里。原本应该是一次愉快而风景优美的旅行,却变成了一次令人不安和沮丧的经历,给这趟本应一生一次的旅行蒙上了阴影。
这个地方的实际情况与广告宣传完全不符。宣传图片和网上介绍都显示,牛群在开阔的乡村绿茵茵的田野上悠闲地吃草,营造出一种人道、自然的农场环境。但实际上,我们看到的动物几乎都被关在水泥房里,地板也是水泥的,根本接触不到草地、自然栖息地,也晒不到太阳。
环境脏乱不堪,令人触目惊心。兔子的情况最令人痛心——它们被关在狭小拥挤的笼子里,好几只兔子挤在一个狭小的笼子里,无法自由活动,也无法展现自然的行为。这些山羊被关在狭小的箱式围栏里,通常三四只山羊挤在一个勉强够一只羊居住的空间里,母羊和幼羊则被单独关在更小的围栏里,幼羊在那里吃草长大。
这一切都让人感觉毫无教育意义,也不符合伦理道德,更不符合现代动物福利标准。相反,感觉动物们只是为了迎合旅游业而存在,舒适和福利根本不在考虑之列。
在蜜月旅行中经历这一切,实在令人难过,我们离开时感到的不是收获,而是悲伤。根据我们亲眼所见,宣传图片具有误导性,关心动物的游客应该意识到,网上展示的内容与实际情况并不相符。
更令人愤慨的是,我们在参观期间看到一块牌子上写着“妨碍动物活动和虐待动物是违法行为”,这让我们觉得极其虚伪和讽刺。如果这条规定属实,那么整个养殖场早就被关闭了。
我强烈不向任何期待人道、开放或自然农场环境的人推荐这个地方。
