millimoo, I was not a witness to the events and I do not know who took the photos - I only found out about this on the Tuesday after the event - too late to retrieve the carcasses. Some horse owners in the area still do not know about this as it was only reported in the local evening press. I...

The Police have to keep a record of ammunition used, but there are sound witnesses, and in time the full story should surface. The shutdown is largely due to the present inquiry. The pressure needs to be kept on the Police to investigate this fully. Apparently there was a similar incident...

Oh - so that's OK then..! I can assure everyone that the populace of York are still fuming about this and doing their bit. :mad:

It was certainly newsworthy here in York - the article received an unprecedented number of comments. However, I think that once the Police have said they are investigating the matter all the media wait for the conclusion. It is a shame that due to the circumstances of their escape, this sorry...

NO.....! I think that the Police investigation into their handling of this has stopped most journalism in its tracks. It will then be weeks - if not months before they reach a conclusion, and by then they will hope it has all been forgotten about. :mad:

For those who wanted the Police contact email - it is given on post number 30 with a link. I am local to this ghastly incident. I agree with the comments about the number of shots fired - but frankly - if you even half nineteen and say 9 - it is still far too many. I think the true number...

Great re H&H - I sent them the transcript from the witness who posted in the York Evening Press - perhaps they will follow it up - there ARE more than one local witnesses, one of them is a farmer.

I have sent it down to all the horse people I know on facebook - can someone get a site up and running ASAP..?

YES - I have had a call from the ILPH and the BHS - they are both on the case. I have just rung the Daily Mail and they are sending a reporter - so hope this is the start of national coverage....The local Animal Health are now aware and on the case - we need to find local witnesses and those...

OK - But York is North Yorkshire Police - the police response so far has been from headquarters at Fulford Road York. Superintendent is Andy McMillan.

I am also concerned that the national press have not yet picked up on this one. There are ways to raise the profile of this incident if they do not. The level of outrage needs to be made clear, by petition, by protest or by demonstration if necessary. We need to achieve an end result which...

Hi - I live in York & found out about this just yesterday - I have been asked for comment & quoted in the York Evening Press as saying this was appalling. I immediately sent this story forward to the Daily Mail, the BHS, & the ILPH with a link to the York Press. The carcasses have been...
