Rocky, an innocent pony, spent his terrifying final moments in agonizing pain as an unknown assailant plunged a knife into his chest. After the gruesome attack, the perpetrator butchered Rocky’s lifeless remains, leaving the crime scene with the dead pony’s flesh as a souvenir, according to investigators with the New Mexico State Livestock Board.
Local authorities in Corrales, N.M. are currently investigating the brutal crime, but the suspect(s) in this horrifying case remain unidentified. Under New Mexico law, the crime constitutes extreme animal cruelty, which is a fourth-degree felony.
Rocky deserves justice, and whoever murdered this defenseless pony must not be allowed to harm another living creature.
