Officials in Hillsdale County seized more than a total of 16 malnourished horses late last week.

Today, two people face animal cruelty charges.

Ten of the animals were found at a Pittsford Township farm. Another six were seized from a farm in Jefferson Township. Authorities say the horses looked like they were starved to death.

Now, Glenn Edward Davis Jr., 44, and Penny Whitehouse, 50, face misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty causing death.

Crews from Michigan state police and the Hillsdale County sheriff's office loaded up the animals Friday afternoon. All 16 are now recovering at a local farm in Hillsdale.
