Jul 21 2009

Police are warning the public to be beware of big cats after a suspected puma attack on a horse.

The animal`s owner found it badly injured with claw and slash marks on its hind quarters in a field near to Sundrum Holiday Park at Coylton, in Ayrshire.

A vet who treated the horse concluded that the injuries appeared to have been inflicted by a wild animal rather than by a human.
