Standardbred Found Shot Dead
A standardbred that was in to go has been found dead, shot between the eyes, one day before it was scheduled to race
.
According to a report by nbcchicago.com, the horse in question was found Tuesday, May 29, a day before she was to race at Balmoral Park in Illinois.
It is believed that Lady May Z, an eight-year-old daughter of Eicarls Diehard, was shot between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
"It was deliberate, terrible," owner Heidi Geib said in the report. "I think somebody sick was out here messing around."
Police believe that a white, newer-model two-door pickup truck seen in the area around the two-hour timeframe may have something to do with the crime.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lake County Sheriff's Department at 800-750-2746.

this is murder anyway you
this is murder anyway you look at it! Prosecute.
This is not an everyday
This is not an everyday crime-shooting horses randomly! My intuition tells me that the perpetrator may have a personal vendetta against people connected to the victim.
RIP dear Lady May Z :(

Just monsterous. How sick in the head this person must be to savagely murder a horse. Hopefully this monster is found and punished swiftly.
