I am familiar with an eye for an eye but just how would we place three arrows into the culprit in the same places as the horse had them?

One in the spine, one in the neck, and one in the face, I think.

Maybe we could get a surgeon to perform that task. Then get a vet to remove them.

The Muslims still have crime and they chop hands off, punch out eyes, cut throats slowly with a dull knife, etc.

It may help if we would let the sheriff do that at the old courthouse square on Saturday mornings.
I'm not sure the juries would cooperate however. (what juries)?

Personally, I do not eat game and prefer to remove myself from the ugliness of carnivorous needs by buying my meat at the grocery store and pretending that it was never really an animal.

However, I do know many that hunt. I have no problem with someone who hunts and eats what they kill. Hunters, by and large, are not brutal and actually have more respect for the environment and deer population than those who do not hunt. For example, they know that feeding deer corn is bad for the health of deer and leads to disease like black tongue. Hunters want a healthy deer population.

There is a HUGE difference between harming an animal for sheer perverted enjoyment versus hunting for food. BIG, BIG DIFFERENCE.

You are right on one point...humans are the most brutal of species. Most species hunt and kill for food - not enjoyment, nor for a prank, or for perversion. A lion does not kill a zebra because he wants to show his buddies what a bad ass he is or because his mommy didn't love him enough - he kills for survival only. Humans are the only ones that I can think of that will kill for enjoyment.

Equating a hunter to the monster that tortured this poor horse is like comparing apples to oranges.

"The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

What about house cats? I think house cats kill for fun.

I agree with Dawn69 on the hunting of wild animals. All the hunters I personally know eat what they kill, or give the meat to someone who will eat it. There are groups that furnish meat to families having financial problems.

Any hunter who wounds an animal and does not make every effort to find it and take it out of its misery is guilty of abuse not unlike what happened to this horse.

I sincerely hope the person who shot the horse is caught and punished! I also hope it will turn out to be an adult, and not some pathetic, twisted kid. That may not make sense, but the justice system is set up so much better to handle adult offenders than juvenile offenders. If it's a juvenile, there should be some blame placed on the parents/guardians who are allowing a kid to go out with a deadly weapon, unsupervised.

I would be willing to bet there are people in the Brooks area who know or strongly suspect who is guilty . . . I pray they are calling the authorities. Anyone, young or old, who would do this to a family pet will be a danger to humans in the right circumstances.

That is very true, however, the point should be comparing the plight of this horse to that of a deer that is wounded by arrows. There is not much difference from the animals point of view. I believe it is irresponsible to hunt deer with a bow and arrows unless the hunter is skilled enough to make a quick kill.

It's not easy being the carbonunit

Bow hunting is brutal. I'm sure a person with the proper amount of practice and training can be good enough at it to make a quick kill. But go to the sports store sometime and compare an arrow head to a bullet. Arrowheads look incredibly vicious.

To shoot someone's animals and leave them to die. I don't care what BREED of animal it was.

I'm sorry - if you knew anything, you would know the deer are overpopulated and they are not considered a domestic animal - these horses are fenced and taken care of by their owner. Deer do not have an owner unless you go to a petting zoo. Deer also cause great problems for motorists where 9 times out of 10 - horses don't. There is a huge difference. Of course there has to be someone out there that goes to that "discrimination" crap whenever possible - yes let's keep that going.

Deer, some human races, and some bugs, and some fish, etc., are under populated because humans are overpopulated---took their land and water from them.

Soon it will be that humans #2 will want to shoot humans # 1 and # 3 due to the overpopulation of #1 and 3! I assume they won't eat us 1s and 3s!

human #1 will just abort human #2, and government #1 will #2 all over its people and implement population controls. Just a matter of time before we get it here

You should take up that cause-seriously. But you won't make me feel bad for wanting to get this sick and twisted individual off the streets of Fayette and in jail where they belong.

Hope that tip line is ringing off the hook this morning. All concerned Fayette citizens will rest easier when this freak is off the streets. Animal abuse is a FELONY in GA, so hopefully they'll get to spend some quality time in the jail system.

Boortz just chipped in another grand.

Who or what do you use that whip you own on? Just a show-piece, huh?

If you are going to flush, I won't pull with you!I have never seen a flown-blown before!
I have seen a sadistic, disturbed, mental case's writing however!

Hey I saw a 10 year old shoot a female deer six times once---then had to cut her throat to stop the wiggling! Her Dad supervised the procedure! They gutted her on a tree limb so as to make her easier to carry to the car fender, before driving up and down main street all day!

I've seen hogs killed cleaner than that.
Wonder where these "criminals" come from?

I hear you. I have no use for any criminal. God may forgive them, but I can't. When they victimize children and animals my rage takes over.

Does that include people in cops uniforms? Deputies serving jury duty slips?

Kids with Christmas presents?

I never had a cat worth a human life!
Maybe your fighting dog is though.

Are these "criminals" to have a trial first?

This is where we disagree:

Criminals aren't human. I would save a copperhead before I would help a criminal.

If someone threatens me with a gun, or other lethal weapon in my garden or my home, no they don't get a trial first.

So no trespassing ok?

I whole heartedly agree Skyspy. With an alarm system on my home and 5 guns ranging from a .22 to a 12 gauge, any criminal that would break into my home would be opening a serious can of whoop a#s.

When seconds count the sheriff is minutes away.(Thru no fault of his own). I feel safer in Fayette Co. than I would in most metro counties thanks to Sheriffs Johnson and Hanna and their departments.

Ranging from .22 to 12 gauge. Odd in between those two!
Would they be a .23 bird-shot gun? Or a 13 gauge pistola?
Bet you also have a Bowie?
Is Johnson still responding to calls?

Does your alarm system call anyone or just make "charge" signals?
Maybe it is hooked to Johnson's beach house?

I trust you are just being silly or did you just forget to take your Prozac?

I agree with you we have a great Sheriff's Dept. They are serious about stomping out crime. I wish they could be everywhere at once.

Happy New Year and be safe.

PUBLIC FLOGGING!

My guess would be they were trying to kill the horse.

Dad probably showed them how to bring down a Moose and they needed the practice!

The French love horse!

While I don't have a clue what thought (if any) your post was supposed to convey, what I will say is that if you have never had horsemeat for a meal, adon't knock it. I can testify that horsemeat sausages cooked with greens makes a darn good meal (had those in Germany. You had to order them ahead and they were only available one day a week).

Sounds like a German thing, order in advance, one day a week only, probably at 1:00 PM only and you have to do as told like the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi."

They will also have to bring their own sack from home to carry the horse sausage! Then when they get to their apartment house, they will walk up six flights of stairs as Europe doesn't have very many elevators and Little A/C!

Are you telling me that the German "weiner schnitzels" are horse sausage?
And what are the "greens," thistle bushes?

Anyway it is better than the roasted dog in Korea.

The greens were "Grunkohl", which is green Kale. And no, I'm not telling you anything about schnitzel.I lived in Germany for 15 yrs, I speak the language and am well aware of their customs & living conditions. You started this by saying the French loved Horse. I simply commented that if you haven't tried it, don't disparage the practice of eating horseflesh. And from that some other dingbat wants to call me "twisted". Some folks have led narrow lives indeed.

You are one twisted person. I'm sure your laughing while reading this but please seek medical assistance. Your reply was totally uncalled for.
