We as zoophiles cannot stress enough how much we resent such actions. Scientific evaluations and criminological findings identified a wide variety of motivations for these actions, ranging from pure sadism, hatred on women, sexual motivations to dares and rituals.<\/p>\n<p>In virtually all cases there is admittely a trespass component. On the other hand fortunately only a fraction of the total trespassings cause damage at all. And we argue it is a difference whether a romantic youth in his insecure years is yearning for closeness and warmth, whether a drunk gang decided to see some animal blood, or whether a sadist is looking for his sexual climax, only possible through torture and killing of an animal.<\/p>\n<p>You as the animalowner are understandably interested in restricting absolutely every unsupervised access, especially at night, by unknown persons to your animals.<br \/>\nAlthough there can never be perfect security a lot can be done to minimize the risk for your horse:<br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<p><strong>Always consider your own safety first!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>write down the license plates of unfamiliar vehicles close to your pastures<\/li>\n<li>call police when you suspect intruders (assume the perpetrator is armed!)<\/li>\n<li>take pictures to discourage (also to secure evidence!)<\/li>\n<li>should you decide to confront an intruder don&#8217;t forget it could actually be multiple persons<\/li>\n<li><strong>never approach intruders alone<\/strong> &#8211;
