Probe after dumping of dead animals in Pembrokeshire

The heartbreaking discovery of abandoned dead snakes and chickens in Pembrokeshire has sparked an investigation by the RSPCA.

The lifeless creatures were found on Green Lane, Waterston, near Milford Haven.

Pembrokeshire’s Greenacres Rescue is now appealing for anyone with information about the snakes and chickens to come forward to help the RSPCA with their enquiry.

The centre at Talbenny and the RSPCA were alerted to the abandonment on Friday March 8, by Pembrokeshire County Council.

In a Facebook post, Greenacres Rescue said: "We received a distressing call from Pembrokeshire County Council regarding a heartbreaking discovery.

"A number of snakes were found abandoned. Tragically, upon examination, we confirmed that all the snakes had passed away, along with five recently-dispatched chickens.

"These innocent animals were abandoned on Green Lane, Waterston in Pembrokeshire. Our team has been working closely with the RSPCA, who will be collecting the animals to assess and document the situation."
