Report
Owners are breaking laws laid out by the Animal Welfare Act 2006 by allowing and causing wildlife to suffer as they are getting stuck in the trap like deterrents on the roof. staff have given multiple pathetic excuses as to why this is happening including blaming the pandemic despite the fact this has been happening for years. this is disgraceful and those allowing this cruelty should be ashamed of themselves.
