I have just been on the telephone to the RSPCA about a poor dog shut in an upstairs flat for 11 hours every day. He howls all the time which as an animal lover with 2 dogs of my own I find really upsetting. The RSPCA said: "We can't come out to evry dog making a noise and if he's not left for 24 hours or longer we will not do anything about it. If the noise is bothering you, report it to your local council". The RSPCA are a complete Waste Of Space!

@James - far from forgotten hun, I feel as passionately about the incident as the rest of you, I just don't think a group of people heading towards kings farm on a witch hunt is the way to go! And may I ask would you have gone?? No I don't think so! Because quite frankly walking around an estate that has a mixture of good and bad people and you knock on the wrong persons door.... This is a horrendous thing to a poor defenseless animal and someone somewhere knows who done it, and I truly hope they get caught and punished by whatever means.....

it probably happens more than we know but just don't get to hear about every incident so it is shocking when we see things like this in a newspaper. I hope km keep us updated and when they do catch someone name and shame them!

This has nothing to do with eating meat! (I am a vegetarian by the way) This is about an innocent animal being killed in the most evilist of ways by people who should not be walking this earth. The sad thing is that police in kent do nothing about horse crime. As a victim myself of horse crime they do not even come out for it and nothing is heard again. This is why the sum of the earth get away with it. I hope the RSPCA can prosecute. They need locking up for a very long time.

Firstly the pony was not stabbed to death, but was injured (with slash wounds according to 'another article'). The Pony was then put to sleep by a vet as the RSPCA inspector felt the injuries were to severe, (even though according to the 'other article'.. the pony was walking).
There are ponies in fields or tethered all over Gravesend, but when something goes wrong no one excepts ownership unless that particular animal is valuable to them.. Apart from the possibility of yobs or a sadist, its also possible this was a vendetta or grudge attack.
Kings Farm Estate & Dickens have a very bad name, but there are some very nice people... lets hope one of them talks, they can do so anonymously through Crime Stoppers if they fear reprisals. R.I.P. beautiful pony. :(

@Batman "killing a person is worse than a pony." Well, as an Athiest myself, I don't actually agree with that statement, because I hold myself to be no more or less important here, as a human being, than any of my fellow animals.
So I don't actually consider cruelty to a person to be any better or worse, than cruelty to an animal.
Let's face it, when it comes right down to it, the only thing that will possibly deter the sort of people who carried out this act, from doing exactly the same thing to a child, is the fact that if they were caught, the punishment would be much more severe.

@Batman "killing a person is worse than a pony."
We're not talking about killing here, because remember, animals are killed (humanely) in their thousands every day here, for our food. This is about the utter horror decent folk feel, when they read of such cruelty.
For most of us, it beggars belief that people could actually be so barbaricly cruel to a timid & totally defenseless young creature as this.
Oh & I wouldn't hold my breath, if you are waiting for their parents to turn them in. The sort of parents who bring up kids to behave like this, won't have a clue where there kids are most of the time, that's if they even remember exactly how many kids they even have.
Remember too that in England, there is still a huge lobby for bringing back Fox Hunting, which is clearly no less barbaric than this act. Unnecessary & pointless cruelty is still cruelty, whether it's carried out by brainless, no hope yobs on a council estate, or by posh folk in fancy red jackets on horseback.
You can't have it both ways.

In response to a comment below - Do not sterotype everyone that lives on these troubled estates. I've lived in Kings Farm for many years and I'm not a "druggie" or an "alcoholic" and my children have been brought up to know whats morally right. Your views are extremely warped if you think this is normally behaviour from the people that live on the estate.

Yes we do. Any way to maximise the impact of the story is necessary as it may persuade anyone who knows the culprit to come forward. The picture is not there for your benefit but to stop this happening to another creature.

This is a vile and extremely cruel act. I severly hope that the horrendous discusting sicko's that did this rot in hell. What on earth is this world coming to? To repeatedly attack a defenceless animal is an unforgivable act and i hope who ever did this is caught and punished accordingly.

To have the capacity to inflict such dreadful suffering on a poor defenceless animal is pure evil.
The individual/s concerned clearly have psychopathic tendencies and if they are not caught and soon, another animal or perhaps human, will pay a heavy price.
They are criminally insane and deserve to rot in a secure institution for many a long year.
