Earlier this week Grimes County Investigator Jimmy Armatys confiscated five mules and two horses from a ranch in southeast Grimes County. This is the second visit and seizure in five years for the same location according to SPCA officials.
Finding the livestock in poor condition he confiscated them and transported them to the Navasota Auction barn where they were fed and watered until the SPCA of Houston arrived Thursday morning to take them back to Houston.
The owner’s name is not being released yet but a seizure hearing will take place next week and possibly a Cruelty to Animal charge will be filed.
The livestock today suffered hair loss to on of the mules barely able to walk.
Armatys said ever since they were brought to the auction barn and fed and watered they were looking better.
