Horse raced to point of death by laughing tormentors

A horse raced to the point of death in Ireland was discarded in the street by its laughing tormentors, according to witnesses.

The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) is investigating after the horse was driven in a sulky through the streets of Cork, Republic of Ireland.

It collapsed in a residential street in the Hawthorn Mews Estate, Dublin Hill, where it was unharnessed and left to die.

ISPCA senior inspector Lisa O’Donovan said the charity is trying to trace the horse’s owner, which is proving difficult in the absence of a microchip.
