In the coming days, veterinary staff will give them thorough exams and assess their conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation began about four weeks ago when multiple complaints came into animal control alleging inappropriate treatment and inadequate care of the horses.<\/p>\n<p>Animal control officers corroborated this information and obtained two search warrants from 52-1 District Court in Novi. Search warrants were executed at the Milford business and residence because there were horses at both locations.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is ongoing while animal control officers conduct follow-up interviews. When complete, they will present the facts of the case to the Oakland County Prosecutor\u2019s Office who will then determine whether to bring charges.<\/p>\n<p>The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority Police, Oakland County Sheriff\u2019s Office and Milford Police assisted with the seizures.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"August 13, 2026 Nik Rajkovic \/ news@whmi.com Oakland County Animal Control confirms six of its officers seized 38&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144,3844],"class_list":["post-431942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-whmi-radio-93-5-livingston-michigan-news-weather-traffic-sports-classic-rock-howell-brighton-fenton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
