LOS LUNAS, N.M. (AP) - State officials are investigating a New Mexico horse auction after a YouTube video surfaced showing a severely emaciated gray mare and another injured mare pawing at the ground.
The Albuquerque Journal reports ( http://bit.ly/Hq5Hfs ) that the state Livestock Board began an investigation this week into the Southwest Livestock Auctions, owned by Dennis Chavez, following the posting of the graphic video by Animals' Angels Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Westminster, Md.
Myles Culbertson, executive director of the Livestock Board, said his agency launched an investigation after watching the video allegedly from the Los Lunas horse auction on March 10 and receiving emails about the video.
A spokesman for the Attorney General Gary King said his office also is reviewing the matter.
Chavez did not immediately return a phone call.
