1 horse dead, 3 others need foster homes in neglect case SNOHOMISH – One horse is dead and three others are in need of a new home as Snohomish police investigate what they’re calling one of the worst animal neglect cases they’ve ever seen.A neighbor called police Sunday afternoon after discovering a horse dead in a field in the 1200 block of Orchard Avenue, Snohomish police Cmdr. Fred Havener said. Officers determined the horse died from starvation. The owner, a Snohomish woman, 27, agreed to turn over custody of the three surviving horses to police, Havener said. One was in critical condition, the others extremely weakened from a lack of food. Detectives are investigating animal neglect and cruelty. No arrests have been made, Havener said. “In my 33 year career in law enforcement, I have never seen horses in that bad a shape,” Snohomish Police Chief John Turner said. “This is truly heartbreaking. If people could just see the state these poor animals were in I’m sure folks would want to help. We’ve contacted several horse rescue societies and they tell us that they are already overwhelmed, so for the time being what we are really seeking is money donations for their care and upkeep.” Foster care for the horses is urgently needed, Havener said. For more information or to donate, contact Snohomish police at 360-568-0888. |
