Bringing together owners, professionals and associations, a collective created at the beginning of November and already bringing together more than 2000 citizens wants to advance the investigations on horses victims of mutilation for several months.
The collective "
Horse emergencies and rural areas in danger
" aims to "
trigger an active mobilization on the part of the services
" of the State "
so that the investigations evolve
", explained Monday, November 9 to AFP Laure Amalric, at the initiative of this gathering on Facebook.

"
It is imperative that technical, human and financial resources be granted by the government
", she added, calling urgently for an interview with the ministers of the Interior, Ecology and Agriculture.
“
Groups not identifiable by the police are reigning terror in the meadows, farms and boxes of equines, sheep and cattle.
We ask the government to ensure the safety of our animals,
”she insisted.
She considers that she "
needs a reinforcement of investigators as well as a team which brings together and centralizes all the data to put an end to this barbarism
" deploring "
the silence of the government
" which "
adds to the growing feeling of impunity for the perpetrators, who are still neither identified nor condemned
”.
Horse advocates are also counting on financial aid from the state, particularly for the purchase of surveillance cameras.
The Auvergne Rhône Alpes region has already allocated them a budget of 100,000 euros and that of Ile-de-France 50,000 euros for this type of equipment, according to them.
Exceptions to confinement to continue monitoring animals alone at night are also among their demands.
Since August, acts of mutilation, mainly of horses, sometimes fatal, have been reported throughout the territory.
Dozens of investigations have been opened.
