Guinea Pig Breeding hell hole in Newark

This is a description of the situation from someone who has visited the property:

"This is about a Guinea Pig/Rabbit Breeder in Nottingham. This man is seriously neglecting the animals. The animals are living in terrible conditions and are in very poor health. He's using them as breeding machines just to make money. He visits the Fur and Feather auction on a regular basis selling and buying stock. Most look to be pregnant, they have fungal infections, scabs to their ears and noses, very thin, sore feet, broken nails, long nails, mites/parasites, dirty and very smelly.
