Prosecutors there say seven dogs were found abused on her property. Three of those dogs were dead.

Police were called to the property after a horse escaped. When the horse was returned to the property, police say they found three horses in poor condition and four living dogs in poor condition.

Police say all of the animals were malnourished and dehydrated. The kennels were overgrown with weeds, and larvae were found in the horses' water, police say.

Prosecutors say Wilson went on vacation on July 26, leaving her daughter to care for the animals. Police say the daughter did not adequately care for the animals, and charges are being considered against her. Police say they discovered the abuse and neglect on Aug. 4.

Police say the poor conditions existed before Wilson went on vacation, and were part of the normal operations on the property.

Webster Groves police took Wilson into custody after the animals were found. Her bond was set at $100,000.

a vet ..... you'd think she'd know better - disgusting

My thoughts exactly Bee.

$100,000!!!
Should be that and, jail time.

When I hear of things like this. I wish the judge would sentence them to live in the same conditions as the animals did.

Don't worry grandma, if the witch doesn't get jail time she'll probably get a horrible disease and rot from the inside out and die. =) As should be the fate of all abusers no matter the species.
