teenager punches horse

Not only did he punch a horse , I am also worried that he is 17 with a 14 year old girlfriend !! I hope they looked into that aswell !
 
Tragically OH saw a (privileged middle aged) horse owner punch their own youngster in the face the other day.

This is obviously awful. But I expect not a lot worse than what happens on many yards :-(
 
Beau jangles- don't be rediculous. When I was 14 I had a 17 year old boyfriend. There was 2 years and 3 weeks between us.
 
Sounds like a 'lovely' individual :confused: God help me if I ever laid eyes on him. I'm not the least bit aggressive but I'd certainly make an exception for this piece of scum and take to him with a dressage whip and possibly a steel toe capped boot or two.
The worrying thing is that many serial killers and those that have abused and tortured fellow humans have a history of animal abuse.
So what else is this 'little darling' capable of?
I'm horrified sometimes to be part of the human race. Poor, poor horse. I feel sick thinking about it.

Sorry but I disagree , that's fine if both parties are over 16 ! Any he doesn't exactly sound like a lovely boy you'd like your mum to meet does he ?
 
So when I was 15 and he was 17 and 3 weeks old it was wrong? Wow, interesting.
And yes, he sounds an idiot, but that's not because there's an age difference in his relationship..
 
He needs to be PTS, there are no excuses for this kind of behaviourd and it doesn't look like he's ever going to be much use to society.

I'm not passing judgement on your relationship !
He could also be nearly 18 and she could have just turned 14 so there could be nearly 4 years of difference , my point being that he doesn't sound like the type of boy to wait if he goes round punching horses to impress his girlfriend , so yes it would be wrong as is illegal !
As a mother of 2 boys if they where 17 and brought a 14 year old home to meet me it would be the first and last time until said girl was 16 , just my opinion.
 
No mention of how it effected the horse after,or the owner of the horse,or him being prosecuted for cruelty.
(Whats being abandoned as a baby got to do with anything anyway?)
 
omg, if he did that to one of my horses I would not be accountable for my actions.

When I was a teen I regularly dated older guys so that wouldn't have bothered me, as a mother I probably would have been uneasy about the age difference but his propensity for mindless violence toward innocent animals would have bothered me a lot more than anything.

Well probably quite a lot in all honesty. I suspect that he hasn't had a secure upbringing teaching him right from wrong and probably very little compassion shown to him at any age. Makes it quite hard for him to behave in an acceptable way I should think.

We don't really know anything about this troubled boy over what has been reported, which isn't much. Quite shocked but I suppose not surprised at the number of people advocating the death penalty.......talk about a lynch mob!

Nonsense.
Plenty of people have a s***y upbringing or have to deal with tragedy, but don't grow up to be abusive. Sadly a lot of them grow up in care are - having to put up with little turds like this.
If he's that disturbed he should be locked up although I suspect a good hiding off the horses owner would have made him think twice about doing it again.
 
Not nonsense at all I'm afraid. Most people who abuse have been abused in some way themselves. My point is that we don't know enough about this particular boy to make me comfortable with reading the posts from a baying mob suggesting he deserves to be put to sleep. Does anyone really think that is a reasonable reaction?

In fact it makes me extremely uncomfortable - which in no way suggests that I condone his actions.
 
His behaviour will only get worse, this time it was an animal, next time it will be a person. Vile person :(.

If he punched my horse, tbh i wouldnt care about his upbringing, but by the time id finished with him, he'd think twice before he lifted his hands again, there are to many excuses made up for eejits like him. Hed be extracting my foot from his ar$e

Yes but that doesn't mean that all people that are abused will go on to be abusive.

Do you have any idea how patronizing your logic is to people that have come from rough backgrounds but shock, horror, still manage to grow into productive, caring members of society?

The habit of using such excuses only enables people to carry on with negative behaviors as they themselves are made to believe they can't change.

RE - The baying 'hang 'em high' brigade - perhaps a bit OTT I think, in this instance :D

There's still no excuse for this, a good friends mum was abused terribly as a child, did she ever abuse her children or anyone else for that matter - no. No matter what the back story you still need to be punished for abuse, otherwise its one rule for one and one rule for another.

but I wouldn't agree the kid needs PTS either! :)
