Police hunt thugs who dragged pony along tow-path by its mane, pushed it into canal and watched it drown

Sick yobs pulled hair from a pony's mane and tail before callously pushing it into canal to drown. The horse's lifeless body was examined in the freezing waters in Rugby, Warks, by shocked RSPCA inspectors at the weekend. Because the carcass was still warm the charity says the helpless animal was probably alive when it was pushed in the Brinklow to Newbold canal.
