Dust Angel Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I know this should go in OT but i really would like for as many people to find out as possible. I also know many people say that petitions arent worth the paper they are written on, however this one will be printed out and presented to the Judge on the day. So even if you think they are worthless please sign anyhow, doesnt take long and it may make a differnce. Also if you can please forward to others. ANDREA HAYWARD October 7, 2009 A man has allegedly shot a horse with a crossbow and used his mobile phone to film it dying on a property in Western Australia's Goldfields. A 30-year-old man from Norseman, about 190km south of Kalgoorlie, allegedly killed the horse near the town on August 1, police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said. August 1 is the day acknowledged as the birthday of all horses. The man was charged with cruelty to animals and failing to ensure the safekeeping of a firearm and ammunition. He was also charged with the possession of unlicensed ammunition. Police allege the man found a group of horses about 7.30am that day and shot two arrows from a large hunting bow, at one of horses from a distance of about ten metres. "The horse, which was in pain and shock, received substantial wounds from being shot," Ms Weatherall said. "The man then kicked the horse with significant force to force it to the ground and filmed the horse suffering and dying." The vision was seized by police after someone allegedly viewed it on the man's phone and alerted the RSPCA, who referred the matter to local police. The penalty for animal cruelty ranges from a minimum fine of $2,000 and a maximum of $50,000 and five years imprisonment. RSPCA spokesman Richard Barry said details of the case would "shock the whole of Australia." "I've never seen anything like this," he said. The man will appear in the Norseman Magistrates Court on October 21.

Kelly_Louise Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It won't let me access the petition from work, but I will sign it as soon as I can from home. Horrific... If only we could bestow the same treatment back to the humans who are cruel to animals... let the punishment be that the same torture will be returned to these freaks, and let's see if people think twice before being so sickly cruel. These people just aren't human... they need to be locked up as they should not be members of normal society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
