Jon Stewart adopts horse after paintball attack left it blind in one eye [View all]

http://6abc.com/news/jon-stewart-adopts-lily-the-horse-after-paintball-attack/1349907/




Lily first made headlines in March, after the emaciated, half-blind pony was found in New Holland Sales Stables in Lancaster County, Pa., covered with more than 100 colorful marks from what appeared to be a paintball gun.

The horse’s owner, Philip Price, Jr., 65, was attempting to auction off the animal.

Price was convicted Friday of five charges of animal cruelty regarding his handling of Lily. He faces $3,056 in fines and $10,176 in medical costs for the horse.


How could anyone with a conscious do this to an animal?
