Target: Morrow County Sheriff, John L. Hinton
Goal: Find and capture the person(s) responsible for attacking and killing two horses.
One horse was found dead in a field and another was found writhing in pain. Both horses had puncture wounds above their right eyes. When the owner of the farm in North Bloomfield Township, Ohio, discovered his horses in this condition, he notified authorities. Unfortunately, the injured horse was deemed mortally injured and was euthanized.
The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office believes the animals were intentionally targeted for attack. However, authorities have not yet released any additional information regarding clues or leads in this case.
When it comes to attacks on animals, horses tend to be exceptionally vulnerable, since they often live in barns that are not attached to their owners’ homes. Because of this, intruders can have an easier time executing a secret attack. As a result, authorities must devote more resources to investigating and prosecuting these types of crimes.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Sheriff Hinton,
Two horses are dead, likely from an attack by a person or persons. One of the horses was found dead in a field and another was found writhing in pain, and had to be euthanized. Both horses had puncture wounds above their right eyes.
What is often unapparent to authorities is that horses tend to be exceptionally vulnerable to attacks by humans. This is because they often live in barns that are not attached to their owners’ homes. As a result, intruders can have an easier time executing an attack. Because of this, authorities must devote more resources to investigating and prosecuting these types of crimes, which we kindly ask you to do.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
