The 8-year-old quarter horse was found Sept. 11 by its owner, Dan McCarthy of rural Jackson in Dakota County. "The killing and deliberate dismemberment of this horse is very disturbing. You don't have to be Freud to realize that the person who did this has some very serious problems," said Arnold Baer, interim director of the national Humane Society's Midwest regional office. The person responsible is a threat to other animals, Baer said. The Humane Society of the United States routinely offers $2,000 to $2,500 awards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for animal cruelty, said spokeswoman Kate Luse. The <a href="http://www.siouxlandhumanesociety.org/">Siouxland Humane Society</a> and concerned citizens also have matched the national organization's reward to offer a total of $4,000 to help solve the Nebraska horse death. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the <a href="http://www.sscdc.net/county/dcsher.htm">Dakota County Sheriff's Office</a>.</FONT>knoreply@blogger.com
