The SPCA has rescued 126 animals from what officials describe as horrific conditions on a rural property near Oliver in the southern Okanagan. Society Constable Brad Kuich said 21 cattle, four sheep and one donkey were found, many of them emaciated, dehydrated or suffering from injuries. They also found some dead animals.

"We did discover about 37 dead animals on the property,'' he said. Kuich said charges of animal cruelty will be recommended against the property owners, who have not been co-operative. The only food found on the property was one mouldy bale of hay, he said.
