Philadelphia, PA – On Thursday morning, the Pennsylvania SPCA‘s Animal Law Enforcement team responded to a devastating fire at a property in Southwest Philadelphia. The fire destroyed a makeshift stable housing horses, a goat, and a pig.
According to the animal welfare agency, the blaze killed two horses and left three with critical injuries. In a release, the organization said,
The pig and goat are being cared for at ACCT Philly.
The three most critical horses were transported to the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center for immediate treatment, while three more headed directly to our Philadelphia headquarters. Of the remaining horses, four will be temporarily housed at Montgomery County SPCA’s Perkiomenville Shelter and two at Last Chance Ranch’s Quakertown facility, before ultimately moving to our Danville Center.
The agency is conducting an investigation. Anyone who may have ownership of the horses in question or knows who may own them is urged to call the PSPCA cruelty hotline at 866-601-7722 or email cruelty@pspca.org.
Donations for the surviving animals’ care can be made via Venmo: @pspca
