SHELBURNE, Vt. -
Inside a Shelburne, Vermont barn, a horse rescue group found the animals that they say were standing in feet of manure and hooves weren't cared for.
Disturbing images that have the Chittenden County state's attorney's office investigating owner George Wilson.
"We want to review the evidence, other possible complaints," said Chittenden County State's Attorney TJ Donovan.
No decision was made Monday as Donovan met with police and health experts.
He couldn't give specific details on what they discussed, because it's an active investigation.
We spoke with Wilson, who declined to go on camera, he says the allegations aren't true and would like to speak to the media, but right now he says he feels like the deck is stacked against him.
Wilson, who used to work in TV, says there are no more animals that live there.
As for the three horses, Wilson voluntarily gave them up to spring hill horse rescue.
It's a situation that isn't just gaining attention in Chittenden County.
The state's top prosecutor, Bill Sorrell, says he's monitoring the case.
"I'd be happy to help the Chittenden [County] SA's office, or to take the case if they would like," said Sorrell.
A statement that didn't surprise Donovan, because he says images like these are sure to upset many people.
"This is something that hits close to home in a state that's known for its agricultural history," said Donovan.
