BRUSSELS, Ont.\u2014Ontario’s animal welfare watchdog says a woman from Huron County has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty after an investigation involving 60 animals on her property.<\/p>\n

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says it executed a search warrant in March 2016 at a property in Brussels, Ont., about 50 kilometres east of Goderich, Ont.<\/p>\n

The OSPCA says investigators found 22 cats living in unsanitary conditions in several small cages and 21 dogs in dirty cages and kennels without food or water.<\/p>\n

It says investigators also found two goats in a shed without windows, lighting, food or water, 12 chickens in a coop without food and three exotic birds and a rabbit in unsanitary conditions.<\/p>\n

The OSPCA says the animals were removed from the property and individually assessed by a veterinarian. It says one dog had to be euthanized due to its deteriorated condition.<\/p>\n

The agency says 53-year-old Gina Platt pleaded guilty in a provincial offences court on Feb. 10 to permitting distress to an animal and was sentenced to two years probation and a five-year prohibition that limits the number of species and number of animals she can own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
