The RSPCA is appealing for information on who dumped a horse at the side of a slip road off the A13 near Stanford-le-Hope in Essex.
The body of the piebald mare and her foal were found by police on 23rd April. They were lying on the verge of a road leading off the B1007. RSPCA Inspector Steven Craddock said, “It is unbearably sad to see an animal given so little care that they die giving birth – the mare must have suffered greatly and we would like to find the person responsible.” Anyone who has any information can call in confidence on 0300 123 8018.
