Horse slaughtered

I was horrified to read about yet another innocent horse being butchered by some demented human living and roaming our streets.

I send my deepest sympathies to Sandra and Jeffrey Fobb for their loss. We can add the slaughter of this horse to the growing list exposed by the Animal Rescue Mission in recent years. I hope these criminals weren’t the same ones arrested and possibly set free in those previous atrocities.

Animals are living, breathing, feeling, sentient beings, and they must be treated as such. We must get justice for any cruelty inflicted on them, and perpetrators must be held accountable by law.
