RSPCA removes animals from rescue centre after deaths

Dozens of animals have been removed from an Oxfordshire rescue centre after the death of a horse and a rabbit.

The charity retrieved 79 animals from Crunchy's Rescue in Longworth, near Abingdon, over the weekend.

An RSPCA spokeswoman said it had been called to take action by a concerned member of the public.

The police assisted with the three-day operation but no arrests were made. The rescue centre has not been available for comment.

In total the RSPCA took 29 dogs, 13 horses and a number of chickens, goats, cats and a cockerel from the property.
