One of many auctioned horses that appeared to be in worse condition six months after the seizure.
Summary
March 2007: Jackson County Animal Control seized a large herd of horses that included a few individuals that were injured or underweight but receiving specialized care.
April 2007: Media reported erroneously that half of the horses were pregnant, had not been fed or watered in months.
July 2007: A judge ordered the herd forfeited to the county to pay for their feed and care expenses if the owners did not pay the full amount, inflated to a ridiculous sum, within 72 hours.
Sept.-Nov. 2007: County sold horses at public auction for as little as $100, many in worse condition than when seized. Some sold to meat buyers who ship to slaughter in Canada.
April 2008: Judge dismissed felony torture charges.
May 2008: Judge ruled the forfeiture improper and defendants to be reimbursed for seized animals and lost income.
June 2008: Prosecutors appealed the rulings. Michigan Court of Appeals to hear the case in 2009.
