the reporter to come out and look around the place and talk with me unfor tunately he did not take me up on my offeri can only assume this all started after recent allegations of animal abuse at

arise are in connection with chickens rabbits goats etc due mainly to mishandling you know people actually try and stuff a goat in their trunk we have remonstrated with a few purchasers but the inci dents are few and far be tween he said according to norm the pre mises are closely policed by an inspector appointed by the minisny of agriculture so as to ensure animals are not mistre ated and to see that adequate water etc is available to all livestock in addition the staff also patrol the premises to make sure nothing unusual is happening you know we have never ever had a pro secution in
