!Update on wild filly found shot
We were informed that the Sundre RCMP took the head of the filly to a local Vet. The Vet xrayed it and found no bullet, hence they could not conclude that she was shot. What then caused the mysterious round shaped hole in her head? (See Pictures). We may not be forensic scientists, however, Bob was a police officer for twenty six years and has unfortunately seen bullet holes in people’s and animals heads. Could it be that the bullet passed through her head and kept on going? Bob also showed the pictures to a few retired fellow officers and they too were of the opinion it was a bullet hole. One possible cause of death was given that she could have fell in that small hole she was lying in and died, yet none of her legs appear broken or swollen due to severe sprain. There were also no indications that the filly had been taken down by a predator either, as there are no claw marks or teeth puncture marks on her neck or hind end. She had been scavenged upon naturally after death, that much is obvious. As for disease or something, she looked as though she had plenty of meat on her, not a scrawny sickly animal. Inspite of any number of reasons one might come up for cause of death the pictures say 1000 words. There lies the dead filly sprawled out with a red hole in her head.
