ALSACE – French police have detained a man as part of investigations into a series of mystery horse mutilations across the country in recent months.
Police say the 50-year-old was arrested at his home in Alsace. The owner called police after seeing lamp lights in his meadow.
There were no serious injuries inflicted but in previous incidents animals have been left with their ears and genitals cut off.
The prosecutor said the unemployed man was “known in Germany for attacking animals.”
Dozens of horses have been killed or maimed this year. The latest attack occurred south of Dijon on Sunday.(BBC)
