This happened just a couple of miles away from us and if its the horse I think it was he was at the vets last week when I went with my friends horse!
The poor souls.
Its why I think all types of BB guns and air guns should be banned completely. They are only used to maim and kill and cause suffering, so ban them all!
And though its sick and disgusting what they have done here, there have even been blindings and fatalities on kids!
awful. a staffie was found up here that had been tied to a tree and shot at several times. all these air guns etc need restricting to clubs and the like.
When I was at the vets we were called to a pony that had been shot in the head with a rifle (the sort that has hundreds of lead ball?)
It was dead when the vet got there and when we xrayed the head it was full of pellets - the stable was covered in blood from where it had been throwing itself around the stable.
The reason...a disagreement over a gambling debt. People can be so sick.
People must be out of there sick disguisting minds!! who can be so evil to do that to a placid creature that isnt causing any harm what so ever....its beyond me who people can do this sort of disguisting act! They should be shot in the head!
OMG That is F*%king Sick!! Poor horses, cant belive they where still alive. if i found the people who did it, i wonder if they like to be shot in the eye and head!! so when they find the sick people we should do it to them!!
Local hotel owner and ex-copper has offered a £2000 reward to catch whoever did it. Must have a good chance, most of the scum that are mates with this type would sell their own granny for that!
we dedicate our lives to loving & caring for our animals .....just for sick bastards like this to take advantage of thier trust in humans to satisfy thier twisted need for "kicks"
I hope they catch that scum,its so sad this kind of stuff actually goes on,its quite unbelievable,poor horse,people like that should be put on an island by themselves where they can never get in contact with anyone or anything,and they can live in their own sick habitat with the rest of the sickos out there,and leave the rest of us and defenseless animals and people well alone. What is wrong with these people,how could they do this!
Reading this has brought a lump to my throat. Never mind putting the b*****ds in with Dale Winton, put them in with the owners. I would rip their eyes out with my nails.

Christ HH, that's made me feel sick
I could never begin to understand the kind of eople that do this, or their disgusting reasons behind their actions. NOTHING EVER justifies doing that
@ Guisbrogal.........hope they catch the b*stards that shot those animals.....if there werec any real justice they would have that very same act re-enacted on them
I noticed it was a 16ft TB too... it's my journalism training I'm afraid!
What a dreadfuol article, these people should be shot in the eye at point blank themselves and see how they bloody well like it.
I hope the horses are ok and the TB can survive with one eye, I know they can adjust to it quite well. But I am a great believer of what goes around comes around, hopefully! These people deserve to be shot!
The really annoying thing is that when they catch the b....ds I just bet the courts have very limited powers with regard to sentencing - they'll probably be given a social worker and be let off!
at the riding for the disabled stables where i used to work one of the mares was slashed i dont know how they managed it because this mare was an extremly nasty thoroghbred(sp) but they had managed to lift up her tail and slash her! another was shot in the head with a pellet gun the vet said if it had been any higher it would have gone into her brain and killed her what is the world coming to and this was at a charity run organisation!
