A St. Mary Parish rancher is under investigation after complaints of animal cruelty. Between 15 and 20 livestock were found dead, and as many as 200 others are being medically evaluated.

When asked about the condition of the livestock on his ranch, owner Freddie Sellers replied, "they're in good condition."

Despite his claim, the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's office is investigating complaints that the animals on the ranch have been neglected. It's unlike any other case Sheriff David Naquin has ever seen.
