The arrest is rooted in a tip delivered to the PSPCA on Aug. 30 last year, when someone contacted its cruelty hotline regarding a limping horse, with a possible dislocated leg, at a Quarryville property.
In responding to the complaint, officers found an underweight horse with a bent ankle that had extreme difficulty walking. She was living in an overgrown pasture. The horse was relying on her back legs to hobble forward.
Fisher said he didn t seek veterinary care for the horse after it was hit by a car early last year, according to the media release.
“The suffering of the beautiful animal involved in this case is heartbreaking,” said Nicole Wilson, director of Humane Law Enforcement & Shelter Operations at the Pennsylvania SPCA. “For months, instead of providing veterinary care or euthanizing the filly to ease her pain, her owner forced her to suffer in silence.
