Police in the region of Thesprotia, western Greece, are investigating the shooting of at least six horses in the village of Karvounari over the past two months.
According to state-run news agency ANA-MPA on Wednesday, the horses were killed with a riffle while a seventh horse was found severely wounded by lead shot.
Two weeks ago, the carcass of a pony shot in the head was found in a nearby village, the report said.
Two local animal welfare groups said they will take action to make sure the perpetrator is arrested and brought to justice.
