""We had probable cause to believe that animals on this property were being kept in violation of the law," MSPCA said on Facebook. "When we got there, we saw that they were living in unsanitary conditions with inadequate access to food and water.""
""They're very well taken care of. They're all very happy and healthy and clean, too," she told the station. "I am in shock. I mean, in less than 24 hours after they were here, they came and took them with no orders to correct. Not even communicating with me in person.""
""Because the animals were seized as part of the warrant, they'll be held pending the outcome of the investigation. They aren't available for adoption," MSPCA-Angell Law Enforcement Director Chris Schindler told the Globe."
Police and MSPCA officers executed a search warrant at a Plympton residence and removed 115 animals during an animal cruelty investigation. The seized animals included chickens, turkeys, geese, quails, ducks, one guinea hen, two dogs, two cats, five rabbits, two ferrets, and five goats. Officers said the removal took four hours. MSPCA reported probable cause that animals were being kept in violation of the law and observed unsanitary conditions with inadequate access to food and water. Most animals were transported to MSPCA-Angell at Nevins Farm in Methuen; two dogs and two rabbits went to MSPCA-Angell Cape Cod Adoption Center. The animals will be held pending the investigation and are not available for adoption; the owner denied neglect. No further information was released about the investigation.
