Sick Horses On Mega-Minister Dollar's Property; Not His

The Georgia Department of Agriculture is investigating the treatment of horses on Fayette County property owned by Atlanta-area televangelist the Rev. Creflo Dollar, who doesn't own the horses. A family friend, Jason Mitchell, bought the horses, saying they would be kept on Dollar's property. Records show the horses had no water or dirty water, weren't fed properly and had body weights dropping to dangerous levels. State inspectors say one of the horses died because the owners failed to feed it and several other horses. Mitchell has been cited for inhumane treatment of animals. A spokesman for Dollar says the minister was not involved in their care.
