I intend to make a complaint to this shoddy business regarding this serious matter. As you quite rightly say wildlife will probably eat those pellets. It’s absolutely disgusting. And there’s no excuse for it. And the two men that lied regarding the pellets being cleaned up daily is also absolutely disgraceful. The whole place stinks of shoddy careless practices. Outstanding work mr Audits. The officer could have shown more appreciation and understanding to what you told him and showed him. But he was fairly reasonable.

Great video, these pellets are a nightmare especially when they are entering the wildlife and getting into the water course and drainage systems. As for the fork trucks what would happen if they were to be involved in a road traffic accident.
