  • "Do not buy from them. Animals hit, kicked and verbally abused."
  • "🤑Business might be booming, but the wildlife is not so happy 😢… the local footpaths seem to have been jiggled about/moved without care for those who’ve used them for many years, and the nature rich hedges just ripped up and replaced with plastic lined motorways to help funnel you to their door."
