SEATTLE — A King County woman was sentenced Friday to nine months in jail for letting horses die and live in filthy conditions on her property.
Jean Elledge pleaded guilty last month to three counts of animal cruelty. She was arrested in February after officers found dead and starving horses on her farm in Carnation.
“It was horrifying. It was a bunch of walking skeletons on the property,” Dr. Hannah Evergreen said at the time the horses were found. “And then to find the dead horses was horrific to know that we didn’t get there in time for all of them.” Read the full story at KOMO.com.
