Authorities rescue over 160 farm animals and find several others dead at a squalid property in Massachusetts. A woman has been charged with 30 counts of animal cruelty. The animals, including chickens, goats, ducks, geese, ponies, and a dog, are now in the care of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-Angell.

Authorities say these two mini ponies were among more than 160 animals surrendered from a property in Ayer, Mass. Authorities said at least 160 farm animals were rescued -- and several others were found dead -- at a squalid property in Massachusetts .Ruth Maxant-Schulz, of Ayer, was arraigned on 30 counts of animal cruelty on Monday, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said in a news release.

Officers saw two dead goats at the front door of the house and could see through a window several goats inside a room that was covered in trash, animal feces, and debris," Ryan said. The officers left and returned to the property a few days later with a search warrant, said Ryan, and saw birds in a dog cage with no food or water.

The animals are getting some much-needed love and care at MSPCA-Angell. Some of the goats are pregnant, while others need surgery.
