Animal cruelty charges laid in major puppy mill seizure in Langley, B.C.
LANGLEY, B.C. — The British Columbia SPCA says charges have been laid following one of the largest puppy mill seizures in the province’s history.
The society says 66 sick and neglected dogs were seized from a property in Langley in February 2016 after a member of the public reported the situation.
The SPCA’s Marcie Moriarty says in a news release that some of the dogs had broken limbs and missing ears and eyes and required several months of care for medical complications resulting from malnourishment and dental disease.
The rescued pups, which have since been adopted, include old English sheepdogs, bernese mountain dogs, wheaten terriers, poodles, and Portuguese water dogs.
