Another cruel attack on a horse has been blamed on Pagans, this time in Northampton.
Jo McGurk, 59, from Kingsley in Northampton thinks the fact that the attack took place sometime between Easter Sunday and Easter Monday is significant.
So, it must've been Christians, right? After all, that's the only religious group which considers Easter to be significant.
The end of the pagan year falls over the Easter weekend and I think that the attack on my horse could be linked with this,says Jo, who approached his local paper, the Northampton Chronicle and Echo, in a bid to highlight the issue.
The sheer ludicrousness of this statement can be exposed by replacing the first six words with "Passover", which, unlike Samhuinn, did coincide with Easter this year. The poor horse suffered serious internal injuries after a broom was inserted in his rectum, though vets are pleased with his progress so far.

What an idiot. I hope that someone points out the error in his thinking soon (before they arrest a Pagan for the crime).

Some people you can point out the error over and over, and they'll still believe the error because its easiest to believe. As usual, if you want to deal with the public about "pagan education" issues, just smash your head against a wall until you beat yourself senseless. At least then you'll be on the same wavelength as the idiots.

Yeah, got this from Witchvox on Wednesday.
Perhaps this wassock has some connections in the Southern Hemisphere?
We've just celebrated Samhain here in South Africa-Happy New Year!
