Two British Columbia men were charged with animal cruelty in allowing a 27-year-old Appaloosa gelding to starve, then they tied "its neck to the bucket of an excavator, then raising it so the horse was off the ground. It died from strangulation," according to a report at vancouversun.com.
The two men face maximum fines of $10,000, up to five years in jail, and a prohibition against owning animals, according to the article.
