East Otto News

EAST OTTO, N.Y. - Mercy Flight airlifted a woman to ECMC Monday night after she was struck by a car in the Cattaraugus County Town of East Otto.

Animal rescue authorities want to stop a bad cycle, like they say has been occurring for years with 60-year-old Jay D. Williams on his 121-acre East Otto farm - where they say starving, malnourished animals live and are eventually butchered in a slaughterhouse on the property.

The Cattaraugus County SPCA says Jay Williams already has two previous animal cruelty convictions, and spent time in jail.

Authorities this week conducted a raid at a farm and slaughterhouse in northern Cattaraugus County, removing more than 70 farm animals described as severely neglected, starving and malnourished.
