Despite $3,000 Reward, No Arrests In 2011 Cow Strangulation Case
June 1, 2012
One year later, there have been no arrests in what was called a surprising case of animal cruelty — the dragging and strangulation death of a pregnant cow in Enon on Memorial Day 2011 — despite reward money totaling $3,000.
The owner of the pet Jersey cow found the animal dead in a pasture just behind his house on Highway 97A as he checked on his animals. Thin twine — often called grass string – had been tied several times around the cow’s neck and had apparently strangled the animal as it was dragged through the pasture. The cow was found on its side, with its head upside down and its horns pushed several inches into the dirt.
Authorities suspect the death could have resulted from a prank gone wrong since school was about to end and the cow’s owner was a school bus driver.
“Viciously killing a pregnant cow for an apparent prank is an inexcusably cruel crime and anyone who would do that can be capable of hurting people, too,” said Jennifer Hobgood, Florida state director for The Humane Society of the United States. “We hope our reward helps bring justice in this horrible case.”
The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the cow’s death. The Junior Humane Society is now offering an additional $500 reward.

I really wish I knew who did this I would turn them in with no problem.
Even before God gets them they will have to answer probably to us for the next nasty thing they do. Anyone who did something this heinous has done something else and will do more, it’s just a matter of time before we lock them up for something. I don’t believe it was kids either, my way of thinking is it was
a couple a drunken yah- hoos just out for fun in the dark. Some people
have a real warped idea of fun now days and even less respect for others and their property
So Very Sad! Poor thing. I do wish they could catch people like this, but one day they will have to answer to God for such acts. Thats for sure!
It’s too bad that people who do despicable things such as this don’t get the death penalty.
