IT is sickening that the burglars who rampaged through Derek Turner’s smallholding decided to try to hack off a goat’s horn.
The bill for the damage they caused and the items they stole is about £10,000, yet did they really have to turn their attention to what is a defenceless animal?
Take a look at our photograph. It is hardly the scariest of beasts.
It can only be hoped that at the next burglary they plan, they come across another horned beast a little more able to take care of itself. Something like a rhinoceros would do the trick.
