In recent months, some French farmers have become increasingly eerie. When their horses were found, they were on the verge of death, and parts of their bodies were cut. And it happened suddenly, without warning.
At first, investigators thought it was a sudden case, and there was no trace of it, and they didn't know what the significance was.
Horses are so cute, why should they be attacked?
But then, one after another similar cases happened, and people kept finding that their horses were dead, with injuries on their bodies, some ears cut, some other parts, and these horses looked extremely painful when they died...
By the end of August, about 20 mares, stallions, ponies and donkeys had been killed or maimed, such as severed ears. This phenomenon is not limited to one region, and the scope of the area involved in the case is gradually expanding. The methods have also become more and more cruel: cutting ears, tearing open eyes, sometimes peeling off corpses...
After learning that many horses had been brutally maimed in different areas in recent weeks, a woman with 20 horses in Burgundy said she was very worried: "I really can't imagine if such a thing happened to my horses... And it is not known what measures can be taken to completely avoid this kind of thing. ”
She even spoke out anonymously for "fear of reprisals," fearing revealing the exact location of her horses: "At night, whenever I hear movement outside, I leave the house to check on the horses. ”
Although this series of cases has attracted the attention of the police, it has been difficult to bring the murderer to justice due to the lack of clues.
This month, there was another case of brutal horse killing in Morbihan, France. A mare at a local equestrian centre was brutally murdered and suffered severe remains (including genital mutilation, ear amputation).
Although the incident occurred in Morbihan for the first time, it was considered by police to be part of a series of similar cases in France for months.
Prosecutors commissioned the Pontivy Gendarmerie to conduct various investigations into the case, trying to find links to the many brutal killings of horses that have taken place in recent months, as well as the motives of the perpetrators.
Then, just after the last case, a mare in Val-Revermont was also brutally killed, including a severed tail and severed genitals that did not look like an accidental injury. The investigation was commissioned to the Bourg-en-Bresse gendarmerie for a search.
The same case occurred over the weekend in different parts of France, where the injured horses were all physically divided to varying degrees, and all the owners of the injured horses were stunned and clueless.
In order to understand the origins of this series of bizarre cases, the Central Office of Environmental and Public Health Attacks (OCLAESP) is responsible for coordinating and investigating the follow-up investigation of this series of cases.
Regarding the author's motives, the police are searching and considering all possible reasons: challenges on the Internet, sectarian aberrations, imitations, hatred of horses, Satanic rituals...
Yesterday in Côte-d'Or, the owner of a murdered horse noticed the injury at the first time, saw the light of a lamp on the grass and immediately called the police.
The gendarmerie immediately arrived in a squad of 40 people and police dogs to assist in the investigation, although there was no way to catch the suspect, but in the end it was a step closer to the clue.
Authorities have also cautioned horse lovers to be vigilant, protect their horses and not to take the whole thing lightly until the whole thing is settled.
