Columbian Cart Horse Won't Walk - So Owner Sets It On Fire!
Apparently the animal refused to walk and that is why the owner poured gasoline over it and set it alight. The incident occurred east of the capital of Valle Bonilla Aragon near the neighbor hood. In a crop of sugarcane, the villagers watched as 'Paul', the carter horse from a neighbor was consumed by flames, eventually dying from burns.
"I immediately called the 123 and moved the Environmental Police personnel. It was a rough picture of animal cruelty," said Sgt Yovanni Ñáñez, commander of the Environmental Police.
The animal, a pale horse bay, about 6 years, was still alive. He suffered burns of first and third grade in 90 percent of his body. The owner of the horse and his companion surprisingly argued that they found the horse like that, and had planned to put it out of its misery!
However, the police established that they poured gasoline over the horse and set fire to it, because it had refused to walk.
Given the seriousness of the injuries it was necessary to go to Municipal Zoonosis Center, where it was decided to apply euthanasia to prevent further suffering.
"What we are asking the community to warn that when situations of violence against animals of any species, reported immediately to 123 or phone 551 78 10," said Sgt Ñáñez, who recalled that this year the unit has handled 230 cases, among which 130 have been horses.
THIS ENRAGED ME TO SEE THAT THIS HORSE RUFUSED TO WALK SO THE OWNER OF THIS CARAGE HORSE PURED GASOLINE OVER THE HORSE AND SET IT ALIGHT MIGHT I ADD THIS WAS A 6 YEAR OLD HORSE STILL ALIVE.. THE FACT IT RUFUSED TO WALK COULD HAVE MEANT HE WAS IN PAIN BUT NO THE OWNER DESIDED TO BURN HIM ALIVE INSTED...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WORLD COMMING TO ?!?!?!?!?!?

Hope to see a lot of you, my friend. Love, Cheryl (they don't have a Cockatiel yet so "bird" will do nicely, I hope )
