Yet again this year, the latest batch of animals kept at the petting farm Greeb Farm are under threat of being killed once the attraction closes for the winter. They are to be returned to the farmers they have been on loan from. By returning them to the originating farms they are signing their death warants.
Cornwall Animal Action have made every effort to work with Lands End to find a solution that doesn't require the slaughter of the animals at the end of every season.
We have offered to rehome the animals at no cost to them, suggested viable alternatives for a conservation/education based attraction to replace Greeb Farm petting farm, to look for funding pots for the company to change the attraction and offered volunteer services to help out at least one day with building this, and to widely promote any future animal friendly alternative.
So far they have refused all approaches from us.
Please urge them NOT to kill these animals and to work with C.A.A to find a more ethical and environmentally friendly future for this attraction.
