The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person or persons responsible for abandoning a 2-year-old mare in Meadow Canyon, Nev. The horse’s brand was cut from its body, leaving a large wound.

Nevada Agriculture Department Enforcement Officer Lt. Blaine Northrup reported a domestic dapple gray mare with a large laceration on her hindquarters was found running loose. Investigators determined that someone cut off the horse’s skin in order to remove its identifying brand.

The horse is in stable condition and will eventually be taken to the Return to Freedom Sanctuary in Lompoc, Calif.

The Nevada Agriculture Department is investigating. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Nevada Department of Agriculture Regional Manager Ed Foster at 775/688-1182, ext. 272
