Precious Flitter’s tail was cruelly cut off.By Shannon Twomey
PRECIOUS Flitter, a 30-year-old horse, once had a long tail but is now left with a few strands of short hair after vandals cut off her tail.
Owner Lina Figura has sent out a warning to Upper Yarra residents after Precious Flitter’s tail was cut off during the night of Tuesday 22 July.
“I’m just shocked that someone would do something so violating to a horse,” Ms Figura said.
Ms Figura, reported the incident to Upper Yarra Police.
“I spoke to my neighbours to check if any of their horses had their tails cut off but thankfully they had not.”
Ms Figura thinks one of the reasons behind the cutting of the tail might have been because of horse competitions coming up in the area.
“Someone might have wanted a longer tail for their horse. Or it might have been cut off and sold for money.”
