According to the Sweeny Fire Chief, firefighters were called to the property on Friday around 4 p.m. He said there was no water to be found. Neighbors tell KPRC 2 they tried giving the cows water after the cows charged their fences.
Susan Dancer with Texas Blessings Animal Rescue is an animal cruelty investigator not affiliated with the case. She said cows can not go without water for very long.
“In this kind of heat they start seeing serious effects in the 12 to 24 hour range and beyond 24 hours in the heat, if they don’t have any kind of shade it can be deadly,” said Dancer. Firefighters distributed roughly 4,000 gallons of water to hydrate the remaining cows. Firefighters were asked to continue distributing water to the cows for the next several days. It is unclear how many days the cattle have been without water.KPRC 2 is not naming the owner, because charges have not been filed.
