From our local paper:
Livestock is being shot for cheap thrills
The Hardin County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate a string of livestock shootings. According to reports, Ronnie Johnson of xxxx County Home Road told officers somebody had shot two of his horses during the night of Jan.29.
Johnson said he believed the first horse, a Belgian mare, died from a gun shot wound to the chest and said the second, a spotted Belgian colt, suffered a similar injury to the neck.

J.P. Crotts of xxxx County Home Road reported his pregnant Black Angus cow shot earlier the same morning. At the scene, officers spoke with Kenny Talley of xx Covery Chapel Road and Eddie Milan of xx Covery Chapel Road who both said they noticed one of Crott’s cattle down as they drove by the previous night.
Then on Jan.31, T.F. Rich of xxx Moore Road also reported two of his donkeys shot after he said a neighbor saw a pckup truck pull up at 3:30am earlier the same day and fire twice.
According to Rich, officer and the owners of the slain animals found .30-06 casings at each of the three shootings.
While Rich says Crotts’ cow suffered a gunshot wound between the eyes, both of his donkey died from shots to the neck.
What kind of garbage goes around, shooting animals, just for the ‘fun of it’???? For many people around here, these animals are their livelihood! I honestly pray they find the scum buckets, and shove them UNDER the jail!
If anyone has any information about these slime balls, I really hope you’ll do the right thing, and contact the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department! 731-925-3377
