Very sad on BBC News

A decapitated pony has been found on a beach in Cornwall, police said.

The animal was found on Pentewan beach on Monday, after Brixham Coastguard was alerted.

Devon and Cornwall Police said its head was "severed cleanly" and it had leg injuries that may have been caused by it trying to get out of the water.

The force said the horse may have been dumped from a boat and injured by a propeller. Its death is not thought to be suspicious.

Devon and Cornwall Police said a wooden cross and dead seagull had been placed on top of the pony and RIP had been written in the sand, but it is believed this was done by someone not connected to the death.

The force said it was investigating the incident.

It seems all to common with horses and ponies getting killed now , my friend found a little Shetland last week , with it's neck broken , and a foal hanging half way out

I'd be wondering if the local abbatoir had mysteriously lost a body to be honest. It sounds like a professional job to me. I would be very surprised if a propeller blade would take the head off in one. There are some weird people out there.

How can the death of a pony thought to be 'dumped from a boat' not be suspicious?!? Am I missing something? Is this normal in Cornwall???

How sad! Poor little pony! Things like this really irritate me.

How awful. I bet the leg injuries were caused during the dumping process not trying to get out of the water and the decapitation was to prevent identification.

What a world we live in today.
