Starved sheep found on Craig County farm; owner charged
[]

BLUEJACKET, Okla. The owner of a flock of starving sheep has been 
jailed on animal cruelty complaints after the corpses of dozens of 
the sheep were found on his Craig County farm today.

Craig County authorities had been investigating properties owned by 
46-year-old David Bradley Bell for about a month and moved in with a 
search warrant this morning.

They found hundreds of dead or dying Barbado sheep, some piled 
several deep in a feeder pen inside a barn, others strewn about a pasture.

Authorities say some of the animals had been dead a short time, while 
bones protruded from worn-away hide on other corpses.

Investigators from the state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners 
found no feed or water on the farm, so Bluejacket Volunteer Fire 
Department members cut holes in nearby ponds.

Authorities say Bell told them he could not afford to feed the sheep.
