点评:This place is tidy and seems to be well maintained. However, it was very sad to see captive porcupines (not domestic animals) in a small indoor enclosure made to participate in tourist "experiences." There are also large peacocks and peahens in small chicken coops, separated from the peachicks that were in a warehouse under heat lamps. Many of the alpacas are on astroturf in pens. The cows were in a field of mud with minimal shelter/shade. One of the donkeys had a bleeding sore on its leg. An alpaca had just given birth within two hours and she was on display with the newborn just a couple feet from a group of people and she was vocalizing from stress. There didn't seem to be much in the way of enrichment for the animals--all the enclosures were pretty bare. Many were crowded, too. Apparently this business breeds and sells animals, so it's not a rescue/non-profit which makes the sale of animal "sponsorships" questionable. This is more like a roadside petting zoo than a farm. So, all in all a depressing visit for an animal lover.
翻译:这个地方很整洁,维护得也不错。然而,看到圈养的豪猪(并非家畜)被关在一个狭小的室内围栏里,供游客“体验”,真是令人唏嘘。还有大孔雀和雌孔雀被关在小鸡舍里,与仓库里用加热灯照射的雄孔雀隔开。许多羊驼被圈养在人造草皮上。奶牛则被关在泥泞的田野里,几乎没有遮荫处。其中一头驴的腿上有一个出血的伤口。一只羊驼刚产下不到两小时,它就带着新生儿在离一群人几英尺的地方展示,它因为压力而发出叫声。动物们似乎没有什么丰富的活动——所有的围栏都相当简陋。很多围栏也挤满了人。显然,这家机构是繁殖和出售动物的,所以它不是救援/非营利组织,这使得出售动物“赞助”服务值得怀疑。这与其说是农场,不如说更像是路边的宠物动物园。总而言之,对于动物爱好者来说,这是一次令人沮丧的参观。
