A collective was created in early November to advance investigations on horses victims of mutilation throughout France.

The group brings together equine owners, professionals and associations.

The collective, called “Horse emergencies and endangered rural areas”, already has more than 2,000 citizens.

It aims to "trigger an active mobilization" on the part of the State services "so that the investigations evolve", indicated Laure Amalric, at the initiative of this gathering on Facebook.

A need for "reinforcement of investigators"

The instigator of the movement that "technical, human and financial means be granted" by the government.

She considers that she "needs a reinforcement of investigators as well as a team which gathers and centralizes all the data to put an end to this barbarism".

Horse advocates are also counting on financial aid from the state, particularly for the purchase of surveillance cameras.

The Auvergne Rhône Alpes region has already allocated them a budget of 100,000 euros and that of Ile-de-France 50,000 euros for this type of equipment.

Exceptions to confinement to continue monitoring animals alone at night are also among their demands.

Since August, mutilations of horses and cattle, sometimes fatal, have been reported across the country.

Dozens of investigations have been opened.
