Horses believed to have been left behind by gypsies terrorize South Wales town.
Some are dying of starvation, others have been hit by cars. All 250 horses terrorizing a town in South Wales are believed to have been left behind by gypsies unable to afford to care for them.
Residents in the town say they have been woken up by small groups of horses galloping past their homes in the middle of the night.

I didn't know Gypsys still got around with horses. On the movie, "Thinner" the gypsy king rode around in a car. Abandoned horses are more widespread since USA put a stop to the commercial slaughter of horses.

It is sick that people do this to animals. I know of a family in Idaho the thinks that if their horses are hungry, God will provide for them. Srsly. Makes me disgusted to be huma... [More]
