Charges laid in case of 14 dead horses
Fredericton, New Brunswick
The NBSPCA has charged a woman from the greater Stanley area with three counts under the Criminal Code of Canada. The individual will be appearing in Provincial Court, Fredericton early next month.
The charges stem from an incident the NBSPCA Animal Protection Officers responded to in early April of this year involving several deceased horses.
No further details are available at this time.
If you suspect or witness animal cruelty or neglect, please call the New Brunswick SPCA 24⁄7 hotline at 1−877−722−1522. Thank you for doing your part to protect and give these defenseless animals a voice.

About the New Brunswick SPCA.
Founded in 1881, New Brunswick SPCA (NBSCPA) is the only province-wide organization mandated to enforce animal protection laws. A dedicated team of 15 Animal Protection Officers is vested with the authority under the SPCA Act of New Brunswick to investigate and, if necessary, lay charges, seize animals, or issue orders to persons suspected of abuse and cruelty to animals.
The NBSPCA is a registered charity that exists to provide province-wide leadership in the humane treatment of animals. We enforce relevant legislation, ensure shelter for neglected or abused domesticated animals and agricultural animals, and provide public education and advocacy to empower New Brunswickers to help animals live long and healthy lives.
