This little tri-color Boar is unwell. He looks to have a cold, and is living with other Boars and 'Rabbits'.. Another Boar has severe bites to areas around his mouth. This is the Seal Sanctuary in Skegness.
They're fed on grain, the same as the rabbits, goat and sheep..
 
and straw by the looks of things :( have you reported them to the council?
 
Make sure the council is informed, and send them a lette rexplaining the correct care for Guineas and Rabbits, maybe it is ignorance?

I'm going to, just got back this afternoon... it's not just there though, I found a petshop with a small rabbit (will be quite large fully grown) in a cage that was under a metre long too, that was free with the rabbit 8... not to mention the small array of tropical birds they had, terrapins, giant land snails.
 
When the local fair came to town they had 2 guinea pigs in a pin(maybe 4 feet by 6 feet) with tons of ducks, pot belly pigs and something else I cant remember. The only shelter the poor guinea pigs had was a dog crate that all the other animals were able to fit in.
And when I said that my piggies were shy the person supervising had the nerve to tell me that I'm raising them wrong grrrr grrrr. Some people just dont know how to look after guinea pigs and they just do not know their place.
 
Seriously, I hate people who do that. It's not even hard to treat a guinea-pig right, but some people are so horribly ignorant!
 
Poor guinea pigs. Definitely complain to the place or to anyone who can take charge of the situation.

:(
 
Poor things! I would speak to the manager of the sanctuary & if you get no joy then report your concerns to the RSPCA.
