Animal cruelty: Udon Thani cow and calf brutally beheaded

[webfact]

 

In an alarming act of animal cruelty, a cow and her month-old calf were brutally killed and beheaded in a forest in Ban Dung district, Udon Thani.

 

The attackers then left the decapitated heads hanging from a tree. No clear motive for the gruesome act has been identified yet. The remains of the cow were discovered in a plastic container filled with blood, while other parts of the bodies were left untouched.

 

Owners of the slain cow, Danchai and Umarin, were devastated by the cruelty displayed in the morbid dismemberment of the animals. The 4 year old American Brahman breed cow, named Moowan, was reportedly stripped of its 22 day old calf.

 

This unprecedented occurrence has sent shockwaves through the Ban Dung community. Many fear that the culprits of such graphic and ritualistic animal abuse will commit similar acts of cruelty again. Some locals have started selling off their cattle, choosing potential financial loss over the risk of similar incidents.

In Thailand that can include family members and friends.

I live in Ban Dung and that is not typical of the quality of the beef we have around here. Can't see the rib cages, hip bones etc. and she is about 5 times the weight. In fact it is not a "Brahman breed cow".

Pretty sure this was a warning against the family and little to do with the cows

This animal will be famous if it can deliver a calf
