Jan 9, 2019 | 6:09 AM

The Alberta SPCA says 65 horses and six dogs have been seized from a rural property west of Edmonton after two people were charged in the deaths of three other horses.

Patrycia Moore and Ross Atkinson have been charged with permitting or causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to animals.

Police launched the investigation after receiving reports of starving horses on an acreage near Entwistle.

Moore and Atkinson have been released from custody and are to appear in court on Monday.
