TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- The mysterious slashings of at least 17 horses' throats at a guest ranch last year have been solved, but no one will be charged, officials said.
The culprit: another horse. The weapon: teeth.
Investigators had suspected a person was trying to kill the horses because the jagged wounds were always near the vital jugular vein and happened late at night.
The wounds, which were 1 to 4 inches long and about an inch deep, began appearing last July.
The case was cracked when an employee of the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch finally caught a horse biting another in the throat, Pima County sheriff's officials said Wednesday.
The slashings ceased when the suspected equine was isolated in another corral.
