St. Louis Horse Ride Protest

Sometimes at Horse News, we get press releases. And sometimes those press releases have to do with...actual Horse News. Today we received one that reads as follows:

We have no idea what any of this is about, but hey, you should find out below.

Libya Loves Horses more than We Do

This past semester I have been conducting a bit of research on the Middle East, adding tremendously to my poor search history that probably already had me high up on the government's watch list. But, somewhere in the midst of typing "ISIS" into a Google search bar hundreds of times, I stumbled upon a very interesting section from the Tripoli Post of Libya.

Justice For Patches - Pony tortured to death, community needs your help #Justice4Patches

Before some anon claims that this is "social justice": No, this is REAL justice.

I was trying to come up with an eloquent way to introduce this, but unfortunately I am at a loss for words. This is something so absolutely depraved, so inhuman, so monstrous, that I really can't process. 

Meet Patches. Patches, is a little pony from Idaho, who was tortured on the night of September 5th, by criminals unknown. He was dragged behind a car for more than a mile, having the skin tore from his body and was left to die by the side of the road. He was stabbed, beaten, and parts of his genitals were cut off.  They beat him over the head with a blunt object until his eyes swelled shut. Are you as pissed off as I am just reading that?

Thought so.

The small community is banding together to raise a reward for the capture of these hideous excuses for human beings. Here's where you can help get Justice For Patches.
