And that means give them plenty of feed to build up conditioning and provide them with adequate shelter, according to society investigator Frank Johnson of Brigham City.

Charges are pending against a Box Elder county man in connection with the horse incident, the investigator said, for cruelty to animals. The horse was discovered last week in a pasture, its lips had been eaten away by cancerous growth or insects and it could not obtain food. When Johnson could not find the owner, he had the horse destroyed, later discovering who owned the animal, he said.

Johnson asked people to keep a lookout for possible cruelty to animals and report them and the investigator will check out all complaints. In the past, he said, people reporting have been reluctant to give names and phone numbers, which are necessary for follow up, he said. People say they dont want to get Report Immediately that any suspected abuse or neglect be reported immediately before the animals condition reaches the point it cant be saved. One animal north of the city starved tc death two years ago as up to 200 people passed the pasture each day, he said, and was almost dead before the incident was reported.
