Man charged with horse abuse, 3 euthanized

Easton, Conn. (WTNH) - After removing several horses from an Easton farm, officials have now charged the owner.

The situation at Easton's Pee Wee Horse Farm is one that has many sickened. News 8 learned that three of the five horses taken away from the owner were so ill they had to be euthanized.

Animal Control says when they warned the owner his horses needed extra medical attention he said, "nobody's going to tell me what to do."

The farm owner, 75-year-old Appollonio Vittorio was arrested last month.
