Woman arrested for animal cruelty back under scrutiny, neighbors outraged
COLORADO (KRDO) Friday, the El Paso County Sherrif s Office, completed an animal welfare check at Mindy Danskin s home north of Black Forest.
After receiving complaints of malnourished horses, the sheriff s deputies arrived at her house with a veterinarian and rescue team in case the horses needed to be seized.
Deputies tell KRDO that the horses came up high enough on the Henneke Horse Body Condition Scoring System that the horses could not be seized, but that they have issued Danskin a Notice of Compliance.
One neighbor, Lanya Clinard tells KRDO that she s witnessed animal abuse on Danskin s part, saying, Starving, starving. I’ve seen her dragging dead horses out of her pasture using a rope around the back part of her truck.
