If the animal died on its own, or natural causes, then this could be just a failed attempt at disposal of the deceased animal. Before jumping to conclusions perhaps we should wait to see what the cause of death was for the horse. The only thing I'm not sure about is why dismember the animal and burn the remains if it died of natural/normal causes? This part defies logic and the disposal could be viewed as criminal(i.e. environmental act offence).

I usually do not wish any harm or hardship on anyone; however, in this case, I hope that you are caught and given the extreme end of the penalty.

I cannot even begin to comprehend such actions, nor do I want to. My heavens above, why would anyone think to do such a thing, let alone proceed with it?

I just hope that this poor helpless animal was dead before you started your unbelievable cruel HEARTLESS escapade (I'm totally lost for an appropriate word to use; "cruel" doesn't begin to describe what you did).

I hope that whoever did this horrendous crime will be haunted by memories for the rest of their lives. How absolutely utterly heartless; the poor innocent animal.
