REWARD OFFERED IN HORSE SLAYING

The Humane Society of the United States has offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those resposible for the mutilation and death of a young Long Prairie girl's pet pony Savannah. Todd County Sheriff's Deputies still don't know who or what killed the Palomino. The horse was found in a field, its head cut and an eye missing. Some theorized that a hunter had mistaken pale-brown Savannah for a deer and cut the horse's head to recover the bullet. The family doubted that conclusion and hired a vet to examine the animal. The vet wasn't able to come up with a cause of death but said a hunter wasn't it. A Todd County deputy said cause of death is still a mystery and the investigation continues.
