dead horse on the beach?

blankAs

anyone got any insight in to this?!

looksee

I don't think you should leave a dead horse on the beach, its littering if nothing else. Had you any particular beach in mind?

marlin vs

Probably sunbathing.:D

sorry probably should have specified, it was on tramore beach yesterday, not sure if its still there today. i went down to look cause i saw a dead white thing at the shore line, thought i might have been a baby whale or something cause it was quite big, it was still kinda in the sea and i didnt want to look like a lunatic and take off my shoes to get a proper look but from where i was standing it looked like the ears had been cut off.
iv seen many things wash up on the beach over the years (including a badger) but never a horse!

Yea it was.. Heard people talking about it on twitter and facebook but I saw a picture someone took of it on twitter. Apparently it has a shot wound in it, so was most likely deliberately dumped.

presume the horse was eating salmon so got the same treatment as the seals

I can't count the amount of dead animals I've seen washed up on that beach over the years. Must be a lovely place to swim.

Except of course this horse didn't wash up on the beach. It was dumped on the beach itself.

That's horrific. Looks like the horse had been starved before its demise too. Anyone know what happened to the body? I don't understand the need for jokes here - this kind of dumping/treatment of animals is unacceptable.

Hey, if we don't laugh , we'll cry, and what good will that do the poor horse at this stage?
No-one said this kind of treatment is acceptable, but let's keep in perspective.

How many people do you reckon it took to dump him on the beach? You hold the back legs and I'll hold the front legs?

The poor divil had clearly been in the water a couple of days at least, he was probably rolled into deep water in west Waterford and washed eastward.

I've seen plenty of unusual animal carcasses washed up on beaches in the winter months, badgers, cattle, etc. The waterlogged soil upon bedrock and stormy seas combine to cause rock falls and landslides. delivering the poor craturs to their briny doom.

I remember years back a walrus was washed up.

I think the horse got washed back out to sea.
