2. Officers Investigate Report of Starving Horse in McDermott
Officers responded to McDermott to investigate a report of a starving horse with ribs and bones sticking out.
When police arrived at the home, the homeowner said he believed the report was in regard to one of his father’s horses. The dad showed up while the officers were there with feed for his animals for the evening.
He explained the horse in question was over 30 years old. Officers noted there was food and water available for the other horses on the property, and they seemed healthy. They suggested the owner have a vet check on the elderly horse.
