An attack in September 2018, that left 3 horses and 2 dogs dead under mysterious circumstances, continues to be a point of contention by local and state officials in Monroe County, Kentucky.
I received the following information from a reader:
"There was an account about three horses and a dog that were killed in Monroe County, Kentucky under mysterious circumstances in September 2018. I wanted to offer my opinion as to what may have happened.
On this property, the man, who owned three horses, came out in the morning. He called for them. Usually, they come running over to the fence, but they don't come. He walked over to a pond and found one of his horses floating in the pond and the other two were dead. I guess they had slice marks or teeth marks on the neck.
The reports of what happened were not very specific. The sheriff was called. Then the Fish and Wildlife officers were called in and they had biologists come out and examine the animals and look at the wound patterns. Also, a neighbor's dog, a good-sized Husky, was killed as well and there were no visible wounds on the dog, which I think is also important to this.
There were a lot of inconsistencies. I heard they were miniature horses, but in the pictures, they were regular-sized horses. So, we'll just go with horses at this point. Even miniature ponies can be really mean and typically aren't preyed upon by coyotes. A Husky, even a smaller Husky at 60 or 70 pounds, has thick coats. They do have a prey instinct. I know Huskies will chase cats and they're usually pretty good around wild animals. That is to say, a cougar or something else could take them out. But to me, the real telling facts were in the story. The owner of the horses was convinced it was some kind of large predatory animal. He didn't know what it was, though I get the oddest feeling that this guy was holding something back. He saw something or he found prints. He was not telling us everything he knew about what attacked his animals. He seemed genuinely scared. You could tell that he and his wife, during the interview, were frightened about the deaths and I think there's more to the story.
So, then you have the Fish and Wildlife officer. He seemed like he was giving a very formal statement, where he stated that the biologist examined the wounds and that they had reason to believe that this wasn't a large animal. He didn't say it was humans. He didn't say it was cut like a knife. He just said we have reason to believe it wasn't a large animal and you could tell that he knows more about the story or he doesn't want to get dragged into it. It seems like a deniability kind of thing going on, which just seems kind of odd.
Anyway, the area, especially in Monroe County, is known for Bigfoot and Dogman sightings and encounters. I believe one of the cryptids may have been responsible for the attacks.
Anyway, please read the link I sent along plus the other information. Thanks." C
