Fifteen horses in Clallam County are doing much better after being rescued from their owner.
The horses were found starving and extremely sick. At least two of them were 200 pounds underweight.
“All of them seem to be improving quite a bit,” said Ron Cameron with the Clallam County Sheriff’s office. “The ones that were gravely ill seem to be on the mend as well, so let’s keep our fingers crossed on them too.”
Cameron said they got a tremendous response after asking for the public’s help to care for the animals.
He says they’ve already had over thirty people pitch in to provide food and possible homes.
Criminal charges are pending against their owner.
If you’d like to help the horses, contact Chief Criminal Deputy Ron Cameron at 360-417-2570.
