A Texas man faces multiple animal cruelty charges in connection with the alleged maltreatment of animals on his Grayson County ranch.

On Oct. 24, county law enforcement authorities and Texas SPCA personnel removed 32 allegedly malnourished horses from property owned by Rodney Lynn Decker after the Grayson County Sheriff's Department received several complaints about their condition. Two goats and two dogs were also removed from the property.

Texas SPCA spokesperson Lacy Ball said all the horses were extremely thin, and are currently receiving rehabilitative care.

Decker was later arrested on 12 counts of Class A misdemeanor animal cruelty. He remains in the Grayson County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bond for each count, said Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown
