Today at Canock Magistrates court 19-year-old Mathew Corfield of Higgs Road, Wednesbury was sentenced to five month’s custody in a Young Offender’s Institution.
Some months ago at Essington near Wolverhampton and in the company of some of his friends, Caulfield trespassed on to a private field where he chased and cornered a piebald mare called Maggie.
With the animal cornered he repeatedly hacked at it with a meat cleaver.
Bleeding heavily, the mare was so frightened that she broke a leg as she tried to escape from the attack.
The court heard that Caulfield laughed as he cut at the horse.
Five months?
For hacking a horse to pieces with a meat cleaver?
B.
Defies belief, worryingly. If said lowlife is prepared to do that with no misgivings to an animal he has no beef with, what chance a human ‘looking at me in a funny way’
Sentencing is an odd and random affair
Hope he gets arse raped, lots. (That might not be nice, but, hells teeth)
Sickening. Truly sickening.
sh*t, I can’t believe he only got 5 months – at 19 he’s old enough to go inside proper isn’t he? and for a good long time.
Poor mare, poor poor thing 🙁
Too often, there is simply no place for Justice within the british justice system.
That’s horrible. I’d like to hack him with a meat cleaver and see how funny he thinks *that* is. Can’t understand cruelty to animals. Just can’t.
Hello Lis of the North, and welcome to this humble hovel. I find it difficult to comprehend how anyone could behave like that.
