Wallis police are asking for help in identifying the person or persons who stabbed and beat two horses over the weekend in the Austin County city, which edges Fort Bend County.
Police Chief David Fischer said a gray mare suffered injuries so severely that it had to be euthanized after being beaten with a club-like object and stabbed with a sharp instrument.
"The horse was beaten on the head with a club or bat and stabbed in the upper body," said Fischer.
He said the other horse suffered superficial injuries when it was stabbed.
"That horse was treated and is expected to recover," said Fischer.
The heinous attacks occurred late Saturday night or early Sunday morning in a pasture in the 6800 block of Highway 36, Fischer said.
"We need to find who did this to these horses," said Fischer. "It's horrible to attack horses like that. It's kind of sadistic."
Fischer said investigators did not have a suspect or suspects.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Wallis Police Department at 979-798-7111 or Austin County Crime Stoppers at 979-865-2949.
Fischer said the person or persons responsible for the attacks could face state felony animal cruelty charges. Neighborhood MapFor more information about the Interactive Animal Cruelty Maps, see the map notes.
