Two charged in case of 13 starving horses
CAIRO—The Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA (CGHS/SPCA) and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) arrived just in the nick of time to save 13 horses from starvation. Last month, CGHS/SPCA cruelty investigators were contacted by a witness who reported that horses at a location on Kirwin Road in Greene County were not being fed or provided with water. A situation that had been going on for months. CGHS/SPCA investigators responded within moments and found 13 horses on the brink of death. The Greene County Sheriff’s Office was contacted immediately. The investigation found that there was insufficient hay, grain and other supplements for the horses. The hay that was present contained mold, which is not suitable for horse consumption. The small amount of grain that was being fed to the horses was insufficient. The more dominant horses were eating the majority of the food that was available, leaving the older, submissive equines without any nutrition, according to a press release.
