WAWARSING – Last Friday, Victor Caniglia, a 50-year-old resident of Foordmore Road was arrested by the Ulster County SPCA and charged with 83 counts of failure to provide proper food and drink to an impounded animal. Acting on a tip from a member of the community, the not-for-profit organization confiscated all of the birds, which ranged in species from budgies to macaws, and even included wild and exotic birds including a cardinal and a titmouse. The SPCA also confiscated three rabbits out of 17, which, according to the organization's executive director, Brian Shapiro, were possibly being raised for food.
