Police are appealing for witnesses after a pony was pushed to its death in a lake.

A group of about 12 people are believed to have deliberately pushed the animal and its trap into Hawley Lake, Hampshire, on Saturday. It died after getting submerged in the water.

A man tried to rescue the pony but sustained injuries as it kicked out.

He was taken to Frimley Park Hospital for treatment, a spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said.

Police believe an unsuccessful attempt was made to push a second pony, also still attached to its trap, into the lake.

When the attempt failed, the group then drove the pony and trap away along Minley Road in the direction of Yateley, police said.

Officers launched a joint investigation with the RSPCA to establish the identity of the offenders and the motive behind the incident, which took place at around 5pm.

Anyone with information should call Steve Court of Farnborough Police on 0845 045 45 45 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

It's about the sickos who do this sort of thing were treated as the mad dogs they are...Let the penalty be seen to fit the crime...hang the bastards.

I know we're always saying it, but what the hell is happening in this world!!
Absolutely disgusting!!

Oh how I would like to mete out the punishment for such evil, vile and wicked people. If indeed they are youngsters, which I would strongly suspect, what the hell kind of parents do they have that they can even think of doing these things? No doubt if they are ever caught, and I wouldn't hold my breath for that either, they will get a slapped wrist, made to do a bit of community work and that will be it. It breaks my heart to think of the suffering that poor pony must have gone through and for what.......the entertainment of yet more brain dead morons.
