Officers Find Dead, Sick Horses In N. Texas Field
The horses were in a field about 3 acres in size.
There was no grass, no hay, and no feed visible in the field.
The horses appeared emaciated and their ribs and hip bones were easily visible.
The horses were also diseased with visible sores covering their bodies.
The owner of the horses, Michael Greenslade, 49, of Cleburne, was arrested and charged with animal cruelty, punishable by a fine of up to $4,000 and one year in jail.
Greenslade lives in a house on the property where the horses were kept. He was transported to the Johnson County Jail.
The Humane Society of North Texas was contacted to take possession of the remaining horses. View picture's/slideshow: http://www.nbc5i.com/slideshow/13745848/detail.html?=dfw

Hell yes! Those involved in handling this case really need to make sure he does MAXIMUM TIME in prison! I also want to bring to the attention a BIG problem against Horses:The murderous sponsor Mr. Cunningham of the petition "Membership Input Futurity and Derby Plans" got angry when I left a very RESPECTFUL comment asking that he put in his rules not to slaughter Horses for his Horseracing business. In response he deleted my commments 2 times! He also emailed me that it's necessary to slaughter Horses in his business! I LOVE this petition and signed around 50 anti-slaughter Horse petitions so far. I ASK EVERYONE TO SIGN "Membership Input Futurity and Derby Plans" PETITION SOLELY TO TELL HIM TO STOP SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS. You can also email him and tell him not to slaughter Horses as a part of his business by clicking on his name on top. His excuse was that I'm not a member, but tens of non-members are signing his petition. Please help in the prevention of Horse Slaughter and sign Mr. Cunnningham's petition asking him to amend his rules stating not to slaughter and kill Horses but to instead send them to a sanctuary when they are unwanted? I want to greatly thank the sponsor of this petition their hard work and effort to save the Horses so that not so many horses will suffer under the hands of heartless and cruel people. God bless you. People like you make this world a better place in which to live just like the animals we all protect!~~~~~~~*For what it's worth; I'm a Former Student & Horsebackrider at The Knox School in St. James, New York and also participated proudly in 3 Horse Shows on their Campus. The Knox School is a very fine and upstanding Private School with an on-Campus Horse Stable that has been featured on WB11(TV)for being one of the top 10 Private Schools in the Country./ * This picture was taken in 12/06 with my friends Horse & Carriage at Rockefeller Center in N.Y.C..
