Five passengers were riding in the vehicle as it traveled northbound on North Ronks Rd. in East Lampeter Township, about a quarter mile from Route 30.

At about 9 p.m., they heard a loud noise as a car passed by.

“They didn’t think it was anything,” said Sgt. Brian Cloonan. “They thought it was a firecracker at the time.”


At their destination, a farm in Ronks, one of the passengers discovered the horse was bleeding from its mouth. A bullet wound stained the horse’s torso.

3. Being a horse, he continued to do his job

I fucking hate people. Horses are the hardest working, kindest and most timid animals. That somebody would do this makes me sick.

Seinfeld. What is wrong with people today? Crazy stuff.

5. There's a reason why I'm an evolving pacifist.

Because I don't come by it naturally.

Because, if someone shot my horse, I would have no problem whatsoever with hunting that person down and sending them to their maker.

I value my horses', and, for that matter, my dog's and cat's, lives more than I do humans who kill for sport.

So I don't own or keep or use weapons, and I'm doing my best to learn to return kindness to offense. I oppose the death penalty, no matter what my emotions scream at me.

Meanwhile, I think I'll go give my horses a hug, and hope that they catch the shooter and prosecute him or her to the fullest extent of the law, which, from my perspective, won't be nearly enough.
