— Authorities in Maryland are seizing the horses that remain alive on a Maryland farm where dozens of horses were found dead or malnourished. The sheriff says it’s not the first time Barbara Pilchard has been accused of animal neglect on the 2-acre farm she shares with her husband Clayton. Lewis says the dead horses will be disposed of in a lined container at the county landfill to keep any infectious disease from infiltrating the groundwater. The Humane Society of Wicomico County executive director, Aaron Balsamo, says his agency is investigating. ——Information from: The Daily Times of Salisbury, Md., http://www.delmarvanow.com/
