Firework yobs kill horse

A HORSE had to be put down and others were left traumatised after thugs set alight a stud farm.

Fire crews were called to the Coltsrock Stud Farm in Pimhole, Bury late on Friday night.

It took them 25 minutes to bring the blaze under control but it seriously damaged the stable and completely destroyed a barn.

The ?5,000 horse suffered 25 per cent burns and was put down after a vet fought for two days to save him.

?He was a beautiful horse,? said Stacey Roscoe, who runs Coltsrock.

?Usually stallions are really hyped up but he was placid and lovely.?

Another horse was seriously injured by a piece of burning timber which landed on his back.

?We?ve got reasonable grounds to believe that the fire was caused by a firework,? said a spokesman for Greater Manchester Fire Service.

thats not all, thugs also blew up a dog using fireworks

Police are hunting yobs who blew a pet Yorkshire Terrier to bits with fireworks.

The 11-year-old dog was ripped apart by a blast after she ran away from her owners.

The killers filmed the attack on their mobile phone, The Sun reported.

Maureen and Keith Barrington, both 67, said the dog had bolted from their garden when fireworks startled her.

Mr Barrington, who found the animal near the couple's West Yorkshire home, said: "She had been blown to bits...I knew straight away it was her because of her collar."

He suspected Emmie had been hit by a car and then attacked as she lay in the road.

Mr Barrington, from Linthwaite, hoped the animal had died before the blast.

He added: "But whether she was alive or dead, it was an absolutely disgusting thing to do.

"My wife is just getting over cancer and I've had a triple heart bypass - but Emmie was something to live for."

Mrs Barrington said: "They (the yobs) are sick in the head.

"They can't be right because who would want to do that?"

I never knew what bogan meant. A definite Australian word, I here it all the time on Neighbours.

same reason raping a woman is 'fun', it's an abuse of power.
