Horse found dead - with eye and ear cut away

- It's so terribly awful.

I can not understand it, this can spread fear among all horse owners, says the owner to Smålandstidningen.

When the police arrived at the scene, they were able to conclude that the horse did not die a natural death.

They have drawn up a report of animal cruelty and vandalism by someone or someone killing another person's horse, the police write on their website.

The owner believes that the eye and ear have been cut off.

- I do not want to comment or say how the horse may have died.

We are at the beginning of the investigation, says Thomas Agnevik, press spokesperson for the police in Region East to the newspaper.

Three weeks ago, a report was made about animal cruelty on another farm in Jönköping municipality. A horse must then have been found with injuries in the abdomen. An investigation is also underway into that case. According to the police, both incidents are being investigated as individual incidents.
