The CCSPCA is currently holding 38 horses from four animal neglect or cruelty investigations. Animal Control Officers responsible for investigating these cases have submitted their reports for review. Upon final review these reports will be handed over to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department. These reports, which include medical records and other evidence, will complement FSO’s own investigations and will be delivered to the District Attorney’s Office to determine whether charges can or will be filed.
All horses currently held by the CCSPCA are improving in their health, and many of them have been brought back to appropriate weights through proper care, feeding and necessary treatment. The majority of the horses that have been brought to the CCSPCA have been relinquished by their owners, and they currently await behavioral assessments by independent experts in equine handling so as to determine the most suitable and appropriate placement for each individual horse.
The CCSPCA’s Animal Control Department is very appreciative of the overwhelming support we have received nationwide. Donations large and small have made it possible for us to care for these animals and provide them with the treatment they need. Continued support allows us the opportunity to continue our work in protecting our community’s animals.
