'Vandalised' fence causes in-foal mares to die in road crash

Two in-foal mares and a filly were killed on a Wiltshire A-road after a fence was damaged — apparently deliberately — allowing them escape.
The A36 from Bath to Warminster was shut for three hours in the early hours of Monday (6 February) after eight horses escaped into the road.

Mares Beany and Candy were killed outright in collision with a car and Candy’s two-year-old daughter MooMoo had to be put down at the scene.

The other horses were moved back into the field.

The horses belonged to Chris Van Tromp and Kelly Vowles.

The landowner, who did not wish to be named, said: “We have had a lot of trouble with the wire being cut on our field boundary.

“I had a call just after midnight from the police to say there had been a terrible accident.

“These were much loved horses. Both mares were due to foal in three weeks' time. We are devastated.”

The driver of the vehicle, a BMW Z5, was not injured.

Avon and Somerset Police are investigating the cause of the incident.
Makes me :mad:
Where do people get off?! We have loads of problems with people around our land cutting off locks, leaving gates open, taking lambs and plenty of other things. We have had both sheep and cattle on the A5 in the past, how there hasn't been an accident I do not know. And what makes it so much worse police wont or cant do a thing about it and if my OH does eg catch them and hold onto them until the police have got there he has been told they will prosecute him!
I would like to break into their houses, gardens, cars and help myself to what I feel like or just leave a mess and see how they like it!

And why do you never hear anything about any of it on the news? :confused:

If your reading I am so sorry for your loss and the truly horrific nature in which it happened xx
