Man Charged After Horse Dragged by Truck | Las Vegas News

A Las Vegas man faces animal cruelty charges after his horse, Pinto, died after being dragged by his truck. The owner, a 62-year-old man, claimed it was an accident, citing health issues and heat as reasons for using the truck instead of walking the horse. Pinto resisted, pulled back, and collapsed — the man tried to revive him but failed and left the scene. Despite the horse having prior health issues, no necropsy was done, yet police determined the treatment was cruel. The man was arrested and charged with willful animal torture, posted bond, and is scheduled to return to court in August.
