Blind pony killed
From the Associated Press:
WEST MIDDLESEX, PA -- State police in Mercer County say they believe all-terrain vehicle riders are responsible for the dragging death of a 10-year-old blind pony.
Owner Tory Morgan found Kahlua’s mangled body Wednesday afternoon in a pasture in Shenango Township.
Authorities say the animal’s back legs were broken and large pieces of skin had been ripped away from its legs, chest and belly.
Police believe the animal had been roped and then dragged behind an ATV.
Authorities say four other horses had cuts and scratches, possibly from running through trees to escape their attackers.
Morgan says Kahlua was a friendly animal that carried children on its back.
Kahlua is a breed known as Pony of the Americas.
There is a $500 reward for information on the attack.

The 'killer' or should I say COWARDS to do this to a helpless animal, are evil. The cowards will have no compassion for any life and must be prosecuted. The serial killers, like Ted Bundy, the Columbine School shooters, Charles Manson, etc. all started with killig animals.
Stop these cowards now. It is not a crime to be taken lightly. RIP Pony. My sympathies to the family and friends.
