"Horse mutilated and killed 'in awful attack', say police
Jan 10 2012
A HORSE has been mutilated and killed in what police called "an awful attack".
The attack in Stithians, near Falmouth in west Cornwall, saw the animal's genitals cut off, an eye cut out and its teeth removed.
Officers believe the animal, a two-year-old stallion called Eric, was attacked in a field some time between 4pm on Sunday and noon yesterday.
Eric's owner Dawn Allaway has been left distraught, her mother Vivien Allaway said.
"To lose him like this is total devastation for her," she told BBC Cornwall.
"It was like losing a baby, really."
A mare and a foal in the field at the time were left unharmed, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
They are warning people in rural areas to remain vigilant to anyone acting suspiciously and to contact them if they have any concerns.
Detective Inspector Tony Blatchford said: "This is one of the worst attacks I am aware of on a horse." read More: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk...6908-23692892/
