This is close buy. Not one or a couple but 13. Appears who did it will get away with it as there is not one lead.
The Huerfano County Sheriff’s Office is looking for thoseresponsible for the shooting and killing of 13 horses northeast ofGardner. Sheriff's deputies reported that the horses were found in lateDecember scattered throughout an area north of Colorado 69 nearCounty Road 620.2. The owner of the horses reported they went missing after heturned them out on property he leases. A report states that the horses were shot in differentlocations and found scattered throughout the area.
There's a big problem with folks not being able to feed their horses in this bad economy, and things... happening... to the horses. Not saying that's what happened here. Still, it's like, when there's a murder, you always look at the husband/wife *first* before lookin' for some stranger. Just sayin'.

This is a local for sure Tux. No outsiders are going up in this area particularly to shoot horses.
ReplyDeleteThe person(s) responsible for this craven act of animal cruelty should be strung up and shot.
ReplyDeleteI take no prisoners when it concerns animal cruelty.
If anyone harmed my dog I would hunt your ass down to the ends of the earth to get cha.
I agree with Chris.
ReplyDeleteAnd then some.
I agree with all the above!!! I don't tolerate animal cruelty at all. And, I'd look at the owners very carefully... :(
ReplyDeleteMeans, motive, opportunity:
ReplyDeleteMeans: The person needed to have the following:
1. A horse trailer (assuming he didn't ride the horses to where he shot them).
2. A rifle
3. The ability to handle a horse at least well enough to get him into the horse trailer.
Motive:
Hmm, horses are very expensive to feed, and dead horses don't eat anything.
Opportunity:
If the field is leased to you, you have infinite opportunity to drive your trailer up to the field and load a horse into it. Nobody would even make note of it.
So who has means, motive, and oportunity? Hmm... just sayin'.
I hope they shoot and then ask questions! SICK!
