Fifty-four animals were seized from a property in North Vernon after the B.C. SPCA received complaints the animals had been left unattended and were improperly cared for with inadequate food, water and shelter.

“We have monitored the situation and requested daily documentation that the orders were being met," she says in the release. "Unfortunately, we were not satisfied that the owner had made the necessary changes and sought a warrant to remove the animals.”
The animals are now in multiple undisclosed locations across the Okanagan receiving care and medical examinations.
