Animals are some of the most beloved creatures in the world. Although it is considered legal to domesticate certain animals, poaching or trafficking them to different parts of the world is a crime. Among the most common examples of wildlife trade are the poaching of elephant ivory and tiger skin and bones. Recently, a particular case came to light after the capture of a bus transporting dozens of animals in the United States. After investigating, the police discovered that different species of animals were being trafficked. They have been mistreated by the owners for years. The incident attracted worldwide attention.

According to reports, an incident took place in Pennsylvania, United States, where a yellow bus was stopped by the police after they became suspicious of the vehicle. What they found when they got on the bus was horrifying. They discovered dozens of different species of animals being trafficked to other parts of the country. The entire bus was not maintained and the animals were kept in a dirty condition. Adams County SPCA staff were notified that a bus was trafficking animals. Inside the bus, a total of 30 chickens, ducks and turkeys were seized from the vehicle, along with three German shepherds and an Australian shepherd. During the investigation, it was found that these birds were being fed to dogs. In the caravan they also found a pony and a bull.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that these animals were being used for bestiality purposes. Reports emerged that the bus driver, Shawn Hirschbine, was arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant in West Virginia. Authorities say an arrest warrant has been issued for charges related to Hirschbine's alleged distribution of obscene material to minors.

Some photos from the trailer show these animals were kept in dirty, open buckets filled with food and waste tires, with grass and dirt scattered on the ground. The rescued animals were kept under observation and are being cared for by health professionals.
