Somerset Animal Sanctuary has made an urgent appeal for assistance after discovering that their feed room is in a state of serious disrepair. The sanctuary relies heavily on this facility to store food for its animals, but the current decaying conditions have left it exposed to pests, putting the animals' health at risk.
The feed room has suffered from prolonged neglect, leading to rotting materials and compromised structural integrity. Sanctuary staff fear that without immediate intervention, the infestation of pests such as rodents and insects could jeopardize the nutrition and safety of the animals they care for.
The sanctuary is calling on the community and local authorities to provide support—whether through donations, volunteers, or expertise—to restore the feed room to a safe and sanitary condition. Maintaining proper feed storage is crucial for the well-being of the sanctuary’s residents, ensuring they receive clean and uncontaminated food daily.
