Laws need to change
I was reading about a town in NC where there have been several incidents of someone cutting off horse's tails! This is horrible for obvious reasons but there is one thing I noticed when I read several articles covering the story. Charges were mentioned that included trespassing, theft and vandalism but nothing about animal abuse. That's just plain wrong, in my opinion.
Here's one of the links if you want to see the whole story: http://www.wxii12.com/news/15555177/detail.html |

Oh, that's horrible!
Is this just general maliciousness or is there a reason people would take a horse's tail? I have heard of things being made of horse hair but I don't know if that takes such small amounts or not. Poor horses with nothing to swish the flies away...that's just so mean.

"Or for horses used in a show capacity."
Are they stealing it to make some horse weave or something? This is one of the oddest articles I have read lately and makes me wonder what exactly they are doing here. |
