Animal welfare concerns have been raised for “dogs, horses, small furry animals and other animals” following an operation on a Nottinghamshire farm believed to be in Skegby – according to witnesses.

Neither the RSPCA or police would be drawn on the exact location of the operation, but one witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said there were “police cars, ambulances, RSPCA staff, and animal welfare officers with horse boxes” on a farm in Skegby on Wednesday, November 1.

The resident said the road was also closed due to the “animal welfare” operation.

“We were assisted by officers from Nottinghamshire Police and several other animal welfare charities.

“As this is now an ongoing investigation we are unable to comment further while enquiries continue for legal reasons.”

Nottinghamshire Police confirmed they are supporting the RSPCA – who are taking lead on the investigation.
