We cannot share the full set of images of this horrific scene as they are extremely barbaric. The manner in which this poor horse was left shows a total lack of respect and empathy for life."According to the animal charity, to place the horse in the area where it was found would likely require a vehicle of some sort, possibly a grab truck, due to the weight and size of the animal's body.
Anyone with any information at all that would support the animal charity's enquiries is urged to email [email protected]. The DSPCA said that all information will be treated with complete confidentiality.
