not having seen the place and the conditions myself , I can't comment on what they are like . Pictures can show what things are like to an extent , but there can be valid reasons for some of them . What really bugs me though , is the almost instant cry of 'REPORT THEM' !!! Why is it that that is always the instant action ?. Why not go and ask the people what the reason for the situation is ? if it was a private farm they could well tell you to p*ss off and mind your own business. But as it is open to the public , your questions would seem only fair . They may well have valid reasons that aren't at first obvious. They may just need a bit of a hand , why not try offering help instead of reporting them ? This may read as though I am having a go ... I am not ... but instant cries of report them does p*ss me off somewhat.
Once reported it can be on their record for ever more , and as I say , there MAY , be valid reasons for the situation .
If someone is really concerned about the well being of animals , why not ask the people that own them what is the problem , if there is one ? . If you are then told to p*ss off , then you may have no option but to go another route ie report , if you are sure animals are at risk or are suffering .
Can everyone say without any fear of contradiction, that their animals and their pens are perfect at ALL times ? Is it not so that people always seem to turn up and see everyting at it's worst ?
How would you feel if they reported you for something that is not what it may have seemed ?
One thing I can't stand is anonymous reporting ....if something is up someones nose , why can't they stand up with a bit of backbone and say something , instead of creeping round the back door and snidely reporting it .
This is not said to deliberately stir sh*te , but it is just my opinion , maybe it is wrong but hey ho there you go ...
cheers
