Police have arrested three men from Springfield, Mass, for animal cruelty after four horses and one pony were found to be living in unsanitary conditions.
Police were called to the property at 205 Middle Street on February 6 for a well-being check of four horses and one pony.
The property has a barn for boarding large animals and a residential home that is not associated with the barn.
During this well-being check, police determined the animals did not have sufficient food and supplies.
Police identified the men responsible for the animals as out-of-state residents who are not affiliated with the property.
Police say the men initially complied with the care instructions given to them while Animal Control Officers continued to periodically monitor the animal’s well-being.
On April 26, the Animal Control Unit received information from a concerned citizen that no one had been on the property to care for the animals since at least April 23.
The concerned citizen said the animals had been outside the entire time.
