Is it out of line to ask why the officer did not put the horse out of its misery? Just curious.
That’s a very valid question. It may be that he didn’t know how.
Sometimes the one who loves the animal just cannot pull the trigger.
si, in Texas, it is unlawful to discharge a firearm on/across a road/parkway. Only LEO can do that, but why did he not? beats a vet bill everytime.
Don’t take this as gospel but I think I heard the local humane department came and humanely put the horse down. Our SIL is HPD and I’ll ask him if it’s true......such a sad story......
Hard to do when you have developed a relationship with that animal as a partner or family member for years.
Going through it with my Old Jack right now; he doesn’t seem to be in any pain but he can hardly walk, just wish he could tell me what he wants.

I read in another report his Horse had been given a. “shot” .
My thought exactly. Cowardly to let her suffer. But this could have a purposeful move on his part. To sway sympathy in his favor.
From what I have read it is not that easy if using a firearm. They were probably waiting for a vet to come euthanize the horse.
