Abuser names unreleased

Dr. Teresa Miller is a veterinarian. She's walking a horse named Jasper. When she first saw him Dec 5, she thought he was on his last legs.

Dr. Miller says, "He's one of the worst ones we've seized lately. He's a body scale of one, and which means he has most of his skeletal structure where you can see without the fat on it. And he wasn't going to live long if we hadn't rescued him."

Dr. Miller says Jasper was tied to a post when she went to remove him. His ribs are showing, his hips protrude and patches of hair are missing all over him.

"The owner didn't see it as a problem and that confuses us. She said 'I don't understand why you think there's a problem with my horse,' so it was rather appalling," says Miller.
