19.09.2003 -
British animal welfare officers have rescued 244 dogs, 16 parrots, seven cats, a rabbit and a chinchilla from a single house.
The animals were crammed into all parts of a three-bedroom home owned by a middle-aged couple in Carnforth in Lancashire, northwest England.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said: "This is the largest seizure of animals in our history. It is huge." The couple have been interviewed by RSPCA inspectors.
The haul of dogs included shih-tzus, dachshunds, lhasa apsos, bearded collies, corgis, chihuahuas, poodles, pekinese and Yorkshire terriers.
The birds included a macaw, Amazonian parrot and an African Grey.
The animals have been taken to various RSPCA shelters across the country. =A0=A0 =A9Copyright 2003, NZ Herald
