WHY RSPCA DIDN’T TAKE ALL STORYBOOK FARM ANIMALS

Both will appear in court next month.

The charges relate to dogs, a cockatoo, a galah, horses, a cat, ponies, alpacas and donkeys.

Some animals have been reunited with their former owners, while some will soon become available for adoption.

Those available for adoption at the Wacol Adoption Centre in Brisbane will have special requirements in their new home.

“We will now focus on the court proceedings, so that hopefully we will see some justice

for these animals in the end,” RSPCA prosecutions officer Tracey Jackson said.
