Two Saudi men were shown on camera executing a horse by shooting it at point blank range, triggering angry reactions by the public and human rights activities in the Gulf Kingdom.

A brief YouTube film, which was removed later, showed one man clutched the horse by the leech before he aimed at its head and shot it.

The horse collapsed instantly and died after a brief shake in its limbs. The Arabic language daily 'Sabq' did not mention where in Saudi Arabia the film was shot but said it had drawn angry comments from the readers and human rights activists, who called on authorities to find the two men and punish them.
