SPCA has seized 46 horses, four dogs and four hogs from a Vernon property after receiving complaints that the animals were not being cared for. Senior SPCA officer Eileen Drever said society constables met with the distressed animals' owner earlier this month and issued orders around providing adequate food, water and shelter. "Unfortunately, we were not satisfied that the owner had made the necessary changes and sought a warrant to remove the animals." The animals were seized on Monday and are currently being housed at an undisclosed location in the Okanagan, where they are being examined by veterinarians and receiving care. SPCA seized 46 horses, four dogs and four hogs from the Vernon property on March 25.
