Deputies Seek Clues In Death Of Boars; Head Found On Property
April 28, 2009
Authorities are trying to determine who apparently killed four boars valued at about $1,200 near Walnut Hill, leaving the head of one animal behind.
Bill Majszak said he was able to find only two of four purebred European broodstock boars when he visited their pen on Kansas Road near Walnut Hill Sunday afternoon. When he returned Monday morning, he could not located any of the animals, but he did find the cleanly severed head of one animal.
“I think someone shot them,” Majszak told NorthEscambia.com. “I don’t know why, but I would hope it was for the meat.”
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the incident.
Majszak had just sold the four animals for $1,200 total and was getting ready to transport them to their new owner when he discovered them missing. The person or persons responsible were believed to have climbed over a four foot fence topped by barbed wire to reach the boars.
The animals were about 14 months old and weighed about 300 pounds each. Majszak said there were no holes in the fence surrounding his property, so he knows that the animals did not escape their pen.
Majszak is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the death of the boars. Anyone with information is asked to call Majszak at (850) 261-4527 or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department at 436-9620.

People that do these kinds of things hurt their own selves. Sad.
If folks are hungry, there are other ways to obtain food around here. Different ministries are giving food to those who need it. At least 2 of these are in Molino, on Hwy. 29.
why leave a head behind? that’s just cruel
Neighbors, we need to find these idiots. They may want beef or goats next!
If you know anything, please call the police.
I bet they are in a freezer somewhere.
