Owners discover slashed horses - big cat attack?

CFZ Australia reps were called out last week to examine two horses in the Hawkesbury, NSW area that are sporting strange claw marks on their backs and rear legs.

The footage above shows the marks clearly.

Incidentally, one of the owners has seen a large black cat on the property, which in his words "was no moggy". 

As readers of this blog will know, the Hawkesbury area has been something of a hot spot for sightings of large black cats and unusual livestock attacks for at least the past 10 years.
