Heartless couple charged with animal abuse after letting horses starve
- 9 years ago
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA — Bodybuilders Alex Paez and Milagros Cowan, have been charged for the second time in four years with animal abuse after three horses were found starving at their ranch in South Miami.
As of 2014, there is evidence that at least one of the horses was in good health. A year later, after the couple's ranch was raided, they were found so malnourished their bones was visible. One of the horses' hooves were overgrown so much he could barely walk.
According to Classicalite, Paz, 48, justified himself by saying the horses were a "little thin and just needed to be dewormed."
The couple's lawyer, Alexander Michaels also said the charges were not a 'big deal,' and that police should 'spend more time on human victims, and child victims, than on horses who skipped a meal.'
Fortunately, there are some people who do actually care about animals.
After they were rescued, the horses were transferred to the South Florida Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) where they have been eating regularly and recovering.
SPCA staff told the Miami Herald that the horses have gained weight and are friendly now, compared to when they first brought and were completely wild.
