Dozens of neglected animals, some of which were being used for bestiality, were rescued from a school bus in Adams County over the weekend, officials said.
A broken-down school bus with a trailer hitched to the back were discovered on Saturday along the side of the road near Hanover Street and Red Hill Road in Oxford Township, the Adams County SPCA said.
Eastern Adams Regional police called the SPCA after finding more than 30 birds, four dogs, a bull and pony in the bus and trailer, the SPCA wrote on Facebook.
The birds included chickens, roosters, ducks and turkeys, which were being fed to the three German Shepherds and one Australian Shepherd. The bull and pony were being used for bestiality purposes in another state, according to the SPCA.
The SPCA’s photos of the inside of the bus showed animal debris all over the floor. Food and bedding were piled on the seats, and the animals were living in the cramped remaining space.
“This is not something we see every day and it’s not something we ever want to see again,” the SPCA said on Facebook. “Thank you for your understanding in this difficult time.”
The SPCA said their shelter will be closed to the public for the foreseeable future while they treat the incoming animals. The new animals are not eligible for adoption as of Monday.
Police have not announced charges in connection to the Saturday discovery. The SPCA said the person who was driving the school bus was arrested on outstanding warrants from another state.
Donations can be made toward the animals’ care on the SPCA’s website.
