5 Horses Found Starving In Camden Co.; Owner Charged: Prosecutor

WINSLOW TOWNSHIP, NJ — A woman faces animal-cruelty charges after five of her horses were found starving inside a crammed stable, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office (CCPO).

The horses were seized last Friday after law enforcement searched a property on the 100 block of Norcross Road in Winslow Township. The property and horses belonged to Dana Grykin, the CCPO said.

Grykin, 56, was charged with five counts of fourth-degree animal cruelty and failure to properly care for animals.

While searching the property, authorities found the horses "severely emaciated and dehydrated," the CCPO said. They were kept inside a small stable with limited room to graze or feed, according to law enforcement.

The horses were brought to a farm where they'll receive proper care, authorities said.

Anyone with information on this matter can contact Det. Ryan Durham of the CCPO's Major Crimes Unit at 856-225-5127. Tips can also be sent anonymously to CAMDEN.TIPS.
