Mounties investigate horse tail hackers Friday, April 4, 2014 Who would want to hack off a horse's tail, and why? That's the question the RCMP and horse owners in the Cowichan Valley are asking after a spate of horse-tail thefts. CBC News reports that three of Krista Batty's show horses had their tails cut off in a January daytime theft, and other British Columbia horse owners say their horses have been shorn as well. There has been a case in Langley and multiple cases across the United States. The B.C. RCMP website reports a similar incident at Batty's property in March of 2013. Batty says she would have given the thieves all the hair she didn't need, but they must stop targeting her horses. Without tails, the horses are unable to fend off insects and are unfit for shows. The CBC reports many horse owners in the Cowichan Valley are planning to buy electrified fences. BF Flatulent cow story is overblown 'Food tech' startups get big backers
