Six Horses Have Their Throats Cut In Savage Attack

AN investigation has been launched after six horses were savagely attacked near Pontardawe, South Wales by having their throats cut.

The bodies of the horses, which were believed to have been kept in stables in a disused quarry, were discovered on Wednesday morning when RSPCA inspectors were called to the area. While the family of the owners said several of the animals had died, the RSPCA only confirmed one fatality.

Bethan Davies, brother of horse owner Kyle Bradnum, said: "We have been devastated by this.

"We had a phone call to say the RSPCA were up there, and went up to find the horses had been killed.

"One of the horses survived, but it has had 14 stitches in its neck.

"The all had clean cuts across their necks.

"But we don't know what to do next. There isn't much we can do."

The dead horses included a six-month old Shetland foal, two section C show fillies, and a six-year-old mare.

Pontardawe councillor Mike James said: "This is an horrendous incident, and is utterly unacceptable.

"It appears they had their throats cut and they bled to death."

A spokesman for South Wales Police said they were aware of the incident, but that it was a matter for the RSPCA to investigate.

A spokeswoman for the RSPCA would only confirm that one horse had died and would not comment any further. She said: "The RSPCA can confirm that it has attended a premises in Pontardawe and removed six horses.

"One was found dead.

"We are unable to comment further on this matter.

"We will always look into and, if necessary, investigate any complaints made to us about animal welfare, but a lot of the time many issues will be dealt with by advice and education and it is not always appropriate to publicise this information for legal and data protection reasons."

Do you have any information about this horrific incident? Please call Police on 101 and spread the word!
