Man ordered to relocate exotic animal collection from rural Wales

A man in Wales has been ordered to move his exotic animal collection after neighbours complained about the noise. James Wale keeps wallabies, skunks, porcupines, parrots, and eagles, among other animals, at a log cabin in Carmarthenshire. Residents said the site sounded like a tropical jungle, especially at night. Carmarthenshire Council decided that the operation did not fit the rules for agricultural land use. Wale had moved to the site two years before the council issued its enforcement notice. He had hoped to turn the location into a tourism business. Before this, he ran a rare bird business at Picton Castle in Pembrokeshire, but his lease there was not renewed. The council has given him extra time to move the animals.
