Freyja the Slayer

Hundreds of people have rushed to Ulpster to see an icelandic pony defy its herbivore nature by eating live rabbits.

Crofter Angus Sprite said he discovered the horse's strange behaviour almost a year ago when Freyja stood on a rabbit and broke its back,as the rabbit tried to struggle away Freyja lifted it up in her mouth and started trying to chew it.

Icelandic pony eats rabbits

Mel Sprite told us, "Angus had to rescue the poor thing off her and dispatch it painlessly.
What a little bugger! Perhaps I was witnessing evolution in action, herbivores changing into carnivores!"

After that incident Angus realised the potential of using horses to kill rabbits and began to train them to this end.

However, the same horse has reportedly also been eating chickens from a nearby poultry farm, "We were shocked to see that pony sneak up to the coop, it caught a little chick like a jungle cat and gobbled it up alive in seconds.", said poultry farmer Mr O'Brien.

Hoof-lickin' good

A police superintendent in nearby Wick said hundreds of people have been flocking to the croft in Ulpster, with a veterinarian also called in to investigate. "If I had not seen the horse chewing up a rabbit, I could not believe it," said the superintendent.

As Angus casually tossed a few more dead rabbits into the field for his horses to eat, he proudly told us his horse has now been named Freyja the Slayer due to it's habit of slaying rabbits.
