Posted by Shawn Allen on in Latest News
FLOYD COUNTY, KY.– A post of a dead horse on social media that allegedly froze to death in Frasure’s Creek got a lot of attention yesterday. It also got the attention of the Floyd County Sheriff’s Department.
“Upon arrival I located a dead horse, but I also located a live horse that was malnourished. You could see its hip bones, its ribs and it looked like it was caked and covered in mud and feces. The home owner stated to me that the horse that had died had been taken to the vet and was 15-years old with pre-existing health conditions. I talked with him and he has somebody who is going to come out and help him bury the dead horse and we took possession of the horse that was still alive and Dumas Rescue picked him up and is going to nurse him back to health and find him a good home.”
Deputy Szymchack went on to say that no criminal charges have been filed at this time.
If you suspect animal abuse you can call the Floyd County sheriff Departments anonymous tip line at 606-949-2020.
