UK - Killing, mutilation of horses reported in Wales and Cornwall

[badhorsie]

WTH is wrong with people? This sickens me so much. Horses killed, eyes gouged out, many more nasty injuries. This just breaks my heart and has been going on for years, why? Does anyone have any answers?

 

[tarabull]

Those aren't people they are monsters - lock them all up and throw away the key!

This carp breaks my heart too can't handle it! It's SO not right.

What happens to a person to make them so dark and twist? Are they just born that way?

I don't think we'll ever know the answers horsie.

Poor Barney. His poor friend Fella saw this and now the owner is worrying for Fella as well. Poor guy is grieving and saw horrible things.

Who the h*** does something like that?


More about Fella. May he be safe.

I love horses and have had the privilege of keeping them myself, whenever I did my daily checks on them before I saw them I was always afraid of something like this happening.
I don't know whether it is an English thing but this type of horse mutilation has been happening for as long as I can remember.
It happened near to where I live a few years back, skewbald pony, a mare was found to have been sexually abused and had internal injuries which cost a small fortune in vets bills

God bless him and keep him safe, horses know when something is up, very sensitive and intelligent animals

Equus. Isnt that how you spell the name of the play?

 

[badhorsie]

Yes, Equus, a great film/play with Richard Burton if I remember correctly

Based on a true case, from Wiki

"Shaffer was inspired to write Equus when he heard of a crime involving a 17-year-old who blinded six horses in a small town near Suffolk.[2] He set out to construct a fictional account of what might have caused the incident, without knowing any of the details of the crime. The play's action is something of a detective story, involving the attempts of the child psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Dysart, to understand the cause of the boy's actions while wrestling with his own sense of purpose."

 

[wfgodot]

There's not much more that would make me instantly coil into fury as the notion of a human being deliberately blinding a horse.

 

[believe09]

That was the basis of the play-was the boy insane and should he be cured?

I guess if I were LE I would be looking for a few teens who had recently read the play.

I think crimes against animals should merit the same punishment as crimes against humans. Those same sickos are going to eventually (if they haven't already) hurt, torture, and/or kill innocent humans too.

This. just. makes. me. crazy.
