First thing I read this morning was the report on the poor pony found in Camarthenshire, so upsetting! What goes through someone's head when they do these horrid horrid things. What is wrong with people?! The only saving grace is knowing that the majority of people would string up anyone found doing something nasty to a helpless animal.
It's just a shame that the law is so soft - if we cut off a perpetrator's hand for committing a crime like this they may start to use the few brain cells they are born with before they commit a crime.
Better still only allow 'selective breeding' of humans and eliminate the dross!!
