I am Throughly and Utterly Disgusted!!!!!!!!

This is just sick! Who could do such a thing? Who cares if the horse was eating a few vegetables? Plant some more! Recently my neighbors two horses got into our yard. You know what I did? I led them down the road to my neighbors and explained what had happened and that I would appreciate it if they would keep them out of my yard (just because the dogs aren't really "horse friendly" and either the horses or the dogs could get hurt). That's the right thing to do. Don't shoot the poor animal! It didn't know it was doing anything wrong.
I would like to get a hold of that person...

R.I.P. poor horse.

May he rot in hell.

I have bookmarked the link to the place where the chicken races occur...he happened to mention in one of his posts that one of his chooks - who he named - placed very well last year.

On the new website for this fair, they are busy updating the winners of the last 7 years. I assume I will be able to find his name...and I will do a search to find out what happened to him.

AND I will let you know!

I'd be curious to know the laws in his area.

My neighbors can shoot my dog on sight if he were to enter their property. They have that right to protect their livestock, (horses and chickens, by the way). However, I have serious doubts as to my legal rights to shoot wandering livestock. The law views pets and livestock differently. I imagine I would get into a great deal of trouble for humanely dispatching the neighbors wandering steer and accidentally placing him in my freezer. Even if he was eating my prized petunias.

Wahoo, I don't know the specific laws in Lincoln County - or at least the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario - but I lived there for a while, and my sense is that this guy is in a LOT of trouble!

The thread there is closed now, but here is part of how he justifies his actions:

I've shot lots of animal's on my property. Skunks, raccoons, fox, coyotes, dogs,cats, & now a horse. The owner is guilty as far as I am concerned. She was told to keep off MY PROPERTY.
