This peson, a so-called “veterinarian” that was caught on video viciously kicking a horse that was struggling on the ground to rise.! And according to “him”, was supposedly bitten by the horse. However, in my own opinion, he truly recieved God’s justice for his cruel actions when the man was found dead in a river !!! GOD RULES ALL OF US
