A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Constabulary said: "Police received a report that two dogs had allegedly attacked a horse, which was said to have sustained superficial injuries, at a rural location in the Helston area at around 3pm on Wednesday 31 March.
“An allegation of a public order offence was also made. Officers carried out enquiries into both allegations and no further action will be taken.”
Are they all incompetent in this police farce?
I mean, I know they give up easily when faced with anything likely to raise a sweat, but good grief, this isn't the sort of incident you'd expect them to swerve, is it?
Hope claims the owner encouraged the canine and even threatened to shoot her and her brother with a hunting gun, Cornwall Live reports. The dog became so violent it "dangled" off the horse by its teeth, Hope alleges.
The teenager said: "We asked the owner’s name and why he was there. He claimed he had permission and was getting up in our faces, making threats. His dog was on my big mare, and he was saying ‘go on, go on’, while blocking the foals from getting to her.
"We jumped over the gate to get away from it, and the dog went into the fields to attack the other mare.
"He [the owner] was throwing abuse at us, threatening to shoot us with a hunting gun, and then went away after 15 minutes of just staring at us."
Someone with dogs attacking livestock and then threatening to shoot the owners of said livestock, and they won't take action? Why not?
It is quite possible that there's 'no action' because the alleged offender is a 'Cornwall high up', but as this incident smells quite strongly of 'Pikey' it could also be the case that the police are leaving this alone for fear of being called 'wacist'? Either way this case stinks of laziness, incompetence, corruption and a failure on the part of the police to protect the innocent.
