Just noticed this on the H&H news banner at the top of the page.

Brave hunter hey? Thank goodness the pony is okay.

That is horrid, words fail me !! Thank god the poor pony was not hurt. What society do we live in that someone could do this to a poor defenceless pony I know what I would like to do to the person who shot it !!!!!

this sort of thing disgusts me - as has been said why do this to an innocent animal, sadly we hear of these things all too often.

This will have been done with a pistol crossbow, and I suspect some airsole decided it would be 'fun' to 'see what it can do'. It is scary that these types of morons can own weapons of any kind, but I'm afraid they do.

Incidentally, you have to be over the age of 18 to buy, own, or even carry a crossbow.
