More horse attacks? (not for the squeamish)

What I fail to believe is how the vets and police have said the deaths were either 'natural causes or inconclusive'. Having eyes gouged out or penis amputated can be deemed natural causes.
 
Meant to say can NOT be deaths from natural causes. Hope they catch them soon. You feel for the poorownets too, if that happened to any of mine I don't think I'd ever get over it.
 
I may put a cat amongst the pigeons now but, i heard the recent attack in Pyeworthy was a case of neglect but owners are saying it was attacked???eyes were gone because it lay dead for days. i dont know the ins and outs but its from a police source, and is being investigated by the rspca, not everything is as it seems, even heard things about the one that was doped but i wont go in to that!!! I would like to say im giving my opinion and it may be fact or not so no-one have a go please?!

Which was the Pyeworthy one?

I'm inclined to believe that two died, as the vet said, of natural causes and then got chewed by wild animals. I'd believe that of Erik too, if it weren't for his having had his teeth knocked out. That's the anomaly.

Black pony, i heard re erik and this is hearsay that because he was sedated? which only a vet should have that it was a home made gelding gone wrong and it was covered up?? heard this from a vet, may be true or may not be, but the pony in s wales was mutilated. no horse decerves an ending like they got.

The Carmarthenshire pony (Barney) died of natural causes.

Erik – yikes!

Crows will gouge out the eyes of a LIVE cast sheep within a few hours. A dead horse would present NO challenge. And the penis prolapses out in death - a badger would have that off in a flash. Wounds made post morten by animals' teeth can look like cuts - hell, I had a mare kicked by another - she had a 'clash' across the vulva that took 20 sitches - you wouldn't believe a kick from an unshod horse could make that sort of wound (if you hadn't seen it!)

My sister found a poor ewe, still alive with its eyes missing. Where she lives it is ravens as well as crows that do the damage.

I do hope that the awful injuries suffered by these horses WAS post mortem and cause by other animals. It does seem weird though that both the Devon ones were stallions.
