Disgusting. I only hope they didn't suffer. Some sick scumbags in our area tortured 2 pet sheep and left them to found the next day. I won't go into details but basically they'd broke their limbs, backs and blinded them. It made my cry to read it, it really did. Horrible.
Well it appears they have been caught, due to appear before magistrates today charged with firearms offences, cruelty to animals and burglary. Hopefully this time the punishment will fit the crime, but not holding my breath. Because of their ages don't suppose they will be named, pity as they might face some retribution locally.
