Charges are pending after investigations into animals in distress and animal cruelty at a animal rescue in the Valleyview area.
While not naming any organizations, Valleyview RCMP says they are continuing the investigation, and with the help of organizations like Canadian Animal Task Force and the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society, have taken in hundreds of surrendered animals, including cats, dogs, horses and other livestock, in varying states of distress.
In a post on social media, AARCS officials say the animals surrendered into their care were living in extremely poor conditions at two properties operating as an animal rescue.
“We sent veterinary staff and experienced volunteers to ensure every animal could be examined, receive urgent care if needed, and be transported to safety,” the statement continued.
Police say the animals continue to be cared for, and they expect further details on the investigation will be released in the coming days.
