Authorities have seized nearly 40 allegedly maltreated horses from a farm in Dallas, Oregon.

Poke County, Oregon, Sheriff’s Department Lieutenant Jeff Isham said deputies responded to a call about horses that appeared to be maltreated on Jan. 30. Acting on a warrant, deputies subsequently discovered 38 horses, along with several goats and birds, residing on property owned by Monica Foster, he said. All the live animals were allegedly maltreated, Isham said, and a dead horse’s carcass was also found on the property.

On Feb. 18, law enforcement personnel seized the live animals in place, Isham said
