14 horses found shot to death in “heartbreaking” slaying in Kentucky, police say

"It's heartbreaking," Hunt said."We're in a region where horses are still part of our daily life. We show them, race them, ride them back and forth every day."

It had been a site for strip-mining of coal, but there's been no mining there for years, according to Hunt. And in that time, vegetation that has taken hold there has made it a popular place for wild horses, elk and other wildlife. "To kill 14 of these beautiful horses, just out there grazing, is not hunting." said Hunt, adding that he's hopeful a reward of $20,000 might help in turning up witnesses and clues.

Who ever killed those horses should be put behind bars

No excuse for this. If they cannot afford to feed them call a rescue

The name of a 1969 movie was: 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?' In today's USA, especially in this instance, you could well replace it with: 'They Shoot Human Beings, Don't They?'. Right?

This is awful and cruel. The culprit must found and put on trial.
