An RSPCA NSW Veterinarian and two Animal Transport Officers were also in attendance. A total of 206 animals – 205 guinea pigs and one kitten, were removed from the property. All animals have been surrendered to RSPCA NSW, where they are undergoing veterinary assessment and receiving treatment as needed. This is part of an ongoing cruelty investigation.
