60 Animals Rescued from East Otto Farm

60 animals – including horses, sheep, cows and rabbits – have been rescued from a makeshift barn in East Otto, New York.

The Cattaraugus County SPCA says Jay Williams already has two previous animal cruelty convictions, and spent time in jail. Back in 2000, more than 100 malnourished animals were removed from his farm.

This time he is charged with failure to provide food and water to the animals. The US Department of Agriculture is also looking into reports that Williams sold meat from sheep and goats he butchered at the farm.

The Farm Sanctuary of Watkins Glen took most of the animals. The SPCA is looking for people to adopt seven horses that were at the farm.

Very sad and disturbing story. However most people don't realize the sub cultures that exist in this country. This williams probably has many middle east people who bring over their traditions of killing and eating sheep goats etc. I know people who have had their PET goats stole from their property and they know it is this group of people because they often will try to buy the animals first, Very Cheap. I hope we can get some legislation to help with this problem. Especially because William's customers will probably be looking for someone else to do this.
