THE MYSTERY OF THE MUTILATED HORSES | M6 | 66 minutes

48 hours ago, another horse was found mortally wounded in the Allié. It’s the 34^th equine killed and mutilated in a ritual fashion with an ear cut off. Over the last six months, nearly 160 cases of attacks on horses have been registered in France in some thirty departments. Who has it in for these horses? Vengeance? A macabre gamble? Or superstition? From Normandy to Mayenne to the Somme, we met breeders at the end of their wits or distressed when, at dawn, they find a mare slaughtered. How can they protect their herds? Torn between revolt and incomprehension, they are calling upon the gendarmes to protect them.
