In Senlis, the sad end of the little white horse arouses the anger of the defenders of the animal cause

A tarpaulin that covers the corpse of a horsesurrounded by barriers, at the bottom of a parking lot, at Senlis. The image is terrible. And she could obviously only arouse anger on the side of the defenders of the animal cause.

This image has been circulating for several days in the royal city. With, more often than not, inexpensive comments on the entourage of the horse. Some evoke animal mistreatmentothers a sordid end for the horse. But the owner of this equine defends himself from all these accusations. “Icare was a reform horseaged 33, underlines Daniel Compiègne. And after having given a lot, he was no longer very valiant … but it was death in the soul that I authorized his euthanasiato prevent him from suffering more. “

In fact, it was a woman, in love with the animals, who made the case “take out” that we have talked a lot this weekend in Senlis. “Tuesday evening, I went to put old clothes in the container located in the annex parking lot of Intermarché,” she says. This is where I noticed the presence of two horses in the pasture that adjoins this parking lot. I approached them and I found that they were not in great shape, especially the oldest. For me, the latter would have deserved, at least some treatments … “

“I really want officials of the death of this horse …”

The day after this meeting, the lady in question, who wishes to keep anonymity, learns that the little white horse is dead. She recovers a photo of the animal, hidden under a tarpaulin, at the bottom of the parking lot. Barriers have been placed around the animal to prevent us from approaching the corpse too closely. “This scene is unbearable to me,” she said. And I want them very much to managers of the death of this horse … “

According to Daniel Compiègne, it is mortar fire that is behind the drama. “During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, a fireworks were fired, around 3:00 am, a stone’s throw from this pasture,” he reports. Icarus has been afraid. In the panic, he tried to go under the barbed wire which border the pasture. He was visibly very bad and came across the parking lot. Unfortunately, he could not get up. “

The owner of the horse authorized his euthanasia

Someone warns the town hall. Marie-Christine Robert, the deputy mayor of Senlis de Permanence that night, was asked. It must be said that the pasture belongs to the city which makes it available to Daniel Compiègne. “I am explained to me that a horse has fallen and that it is impossible for it to raise it,” says the elected official. I am suggested that he is euthanized. But the decision does not belong to me. Only the owner of the animal is empowered to do so. ” And that’s how Daniel Compiègne is warned. He goes there and gives the green light to the veterinarian. “I didn’t want Acare to end her life in suffering,” he said.

The corpse of the little white horse must be removed the same morning, at the first hour. “But the truck that was to remove it broke down,” said Daniel Compiègne. It is ultimately the next day that a truck from the same company will come to recover the animal …

Tintin found a companion

Icare had lived in this pasture for years with, for companion, Tintin, another white horse. But much younger than him since he raised in his twenties. Together, the two equines had a good time, gambling in the pasture, the time for retirement from the disappearance … The disappearance of Icarus should have made it of the most unhappy. “Horses do not like to live alone,” concludes Daniel Compiègne who quickly “offered” a new four -legged companion to Tintin.
