Police in Modesto, California have arrested Joe Curtis Silva and Nichole Surkala after they found a miniature horse living in the couple's kitchen and dining room! Animal control supervisor John Bear said, "The conditions were horrendous. This miniature horse had been housed indoors for I'm guessing a good length of time by the amount of animal waste that was built up inside the house." They were charged with child endangerment as Nichole's son (believed to be between 10 and 12-years-old) had been sleeping in a tent inside his bedroom to protect himself from flies. The horse and a couple of dogs were taken to the Department of Animal Services. Ironically the animals were in pretty good shape and no charges of animal cruelty were issued. (Modesto Times)

Maybe the original owners didn't tell them how big it was gonna get and they couldn't afford a bigger house
sound familiar ?

i'd still think that most people wouldn't consider horses to be housepets. did they not have a yard? why wouldn't they shovel up the horse waste & get rid of it? it would seem they knew better and were trying to hide this mini-horse for some reason.. and what about the kid whose age is uncertain? do they not know how old their kid is or not want to say? and were they ignorant or uncaring to their own child? crazy story.

Amnagrla
