RESCUE UNDERWAY: The ASPCA is on the ground in Owego, New York, assisting with the urgent rescue of more than 100 farm animals, including some exhibiting signs of neglect.
Cows, goats and horses, including young calves, are being removed from a property in Tioga County after investigators discovered them living in poor conditions with limited access to food, water, or medical care. Some appeared to be underweight and were found living amongst filth—at least one calf required urgent care. Sadly, deceased animals were also found on the property |
The animals removed from the property are receiving urgent, much-needed medical care.
We are also assisting with operational planning, animal removal and transport, evidence collection and crime scene processing, investigative and legal support, forensics exams, medical care and ongoing sheltering for these rescued animals. The Massachusetts SPCA, Susquehanna SPCA and Happy Compromise Farm + Sanctuary are also assisting with this large-scale case by providing transport assistance and daily care for the animals. |
