Animal cruelty case investigated in Seminole County

OKLAHOMA -- The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an animal cruelty case after a deputy discovered severely malnourished horses, dogs and other animals at a property south of Maud, along Oklahoma 9.

Deputy Mike Bruner responded to a call regarding possible animal abandonment Sept. 23 and found several animals without food or water. The animals, which included six horses, dogs, turkeys and pot-bellied pigs, were very skinny, he said.

One dog was tied to a tree and looked barely alive when Bruner arrived, he said. The dog’s leash was too short to reach a nearby bucket filled with dirty, algae-covered water. The dog died while Bruner was at the property, he said. Another dog, also tied to a tree, either died shortly before he arrived or while he was there.

Bruner also found a horse that was too weak to stand up.
