Three wallabies are rescued from a rural cannabis plantation in Spain and are recovering at a zoo, according to multiple reports. The animals, which live far from their usual habitat in Australia, are described as traumatised when found. Authorities and officials say the rescue occurs during a raid on the property, where law enforcement officers encounter animals kept under poor conditions. One account says officers discover dozens of animals in unhygienic and unsanitary surroundings, including rotting remains, on the farm. The three wallabies are then taken for care and are reported to be recovering at the Spanish zoo where they receive treatment. The reports do not indicate how long the wallabies have been kept on the plantation, but they emphasize the animals’ distressed state and the stark conditions found at the site. The rescues are framed as part of the response to the cannabis operation, with the wallabies among the animals recovered during the enforcement action.
