KINGSLEY -- A Grand Traverse County woman from Fife Lake has been charged after her seven horses were found starving and sick.

Danelle Round, 39, is facing a one year misdemeanor for abandoning or being cruel to animals. Two malnourished horses had to be euthanized at Round's home. The others are now recovering at local rescue shelters.

This animal cruelty case has outraged the Northern Michigan community, and Wednesday dozens spent hours helping the surviving horses at North Horse Rescue in Kingsley.

Volunteers loaded up trucks with donated hay. Others gave monetary donations and blankets to help the surviving horses.

If want to help North Horse Rescue with anything from just stopping by and grooming to donating money call them at (231) -645-4674.
