Dear Editor
In the night between Oct. 5 and 6, my yearling horse was murdered. I found his lifeless body 200 yards from my home. He was chased through the pasture long enough to be shot twice. The fear he must have felt would make anyone sick. I found Beau with three shots in his body. The final was through his head.
Could this have all been a mistake? Was this purposeful murder? If it was a mistake why not wake me to get a vet? The first two shots would not have been deadly, one in the rump I presume running away, and the next in the gut, for fun?
Why did my little one have to feel this pain? The fear?
Mistaken for game or not (most likely not) it was pitch black, so this was a case of poaching or out right murder?
Beau's he deserved better than that.
