KING COUNTY, Wash. — Dozens of horses are dead or dying in the worst animal cruelty case some local rescuers have seen.

A woman is under arrest after deputies seized ten of her horses in Carnation and ten in Monroe. Other horses were found dead.

Rescuers named one of the foals Phoenix in hopes he will rise from the ashes. Phoenix was starving and infested with lice when rescuers found him Friday.

There is a chance he could still die,” said Dr. Hannah Evergreen. “We got him out as quickly as we could to the hospital for stabilization but he’s still not out of the woods.” Read the full story at KOMO
