The Veterinary Service is to take legal action against the owner of an illegal farm for maltreatment of animals.

The decision was taken after inspectors raided a farm and found that 21 animals were housed in squalor and poorly fed.

Instead of animal feed, they used to be given waste food.

The animals had to be put down.
