Deputies Seize Horses
Published at | Updated at(CHUBBUCK, ID) – Bannock County Sheriff’s Deputies and the Portneuf Animal Wellness Society rescued 16 malnourished horses from a ranch near Chubbuck Tuesday. Detectives don’t believe that the owner, Wolf Hart, was intentionally neglecting the horses. However, they believe he has reached a point in his life where he can’t properly take care of his animals. Authorities have been investigating Hart for two months amid dozens of phone calls from neighbors concerned about the horses. Hart will appear in court for a preliminary hearing on animal abuse charges today.
