TAMPA - A 26-year-old Tampa woman was arrested this morning, accused of punching a police horse outside an Ybor City nightclub.

Angelica Rene Ayala
The incident started at about 3 a.m., according to an arrest affidavit. That's when three police officers riding horses were trying to clear a crowd from around officers arresting people who had been outside Club Prana, 1619 E. Seventh Ave.
Angelica Rene Ayala grabbed the reins of a horse called "Buddy" and punched the horse on the neck, the report states.
Ayala was charged with an offense against a police animal, a first-degree misdemeanor, jail records state.
There were two other reports of offenses against police animals that happened Saturday night around Bayshore Boulevard and South Orleans Avenue, according to jail records.
Rick Keller, 46, and Sendhil Kumar Krishnan, 28, both of Tampa, were charged with offenses against police animals.
Ayala, Keller and Krishnan were released today after each posted $500 bail.

I love how people freak out about touching an animal that has no soul but yet we kill unborn babies, 4,000 mind you, every single day. Then we make excuses for killing them. Like rape. Although less than 1% of abortions are from rape. And how many of us would say our life was insignificant if our father had raped our mothers. This world is got thing all messed up! Although punching the horse is flat out idiotic!

sumicobiNY it's not an unborn baby it's a fetus and it is not capable of living on its own. Better to have it aborted than to be cast into the world unwanted and unloved. Get off your soap box.

so, scottwfx, if one is unable to live on its own (Like Terryy Schiavo) its ok to terminate its life on a whim right? Sorry bud, changing the description to fetus vs baby does not make a convincing argument that its ok. Many oppressors "justify" their actions by using creative descriptions, ie its not genocide, its social clensing, its not a baby, its a fetus. Sorry, some people disagree with you and consider it murder, I wonder what your position would have been when you were a fetus. 1 minute birth you are a fetus, 59.99 secinds later you are a human being. If that is the case why do the courts charge people with double murder when they assasinate a pregnant woman? Changing the noenclature does not make abortion ok by me. It is also interesting to note that people who believe in abortions are becoming a minority, it seems as they die they fail to pro-create, another example of Darwins evolutionary theory of survival of the fittest.
PS It is just not safe on the streets for man or beast after 12:15 AM, oh and she looks like an illegal farm working alien :-)

Sorry, I guess that's only the case when the opinion fits your particular views. That's also quite a sick stretch to assume that those who defend life over abortion would naturally give a pass to bombers of abortion clinics.

While I can't say I would consider hitting a horse justified....I do feel the need to point out the reason she probably lashed out on it.
I have on several occasions seen officers use their horses to push people....sometimes knocking them down. It is possible that is why this ugly woman acted out. Either that or she thought it was a mirror and was trying to break it.

she got drunk; she punched a horse. she didn't prostitute herself. she wasn't selling drugs. she wasn't driving. no babies were harmed in the making of this story.
some of you posters disgust me. you're like vultures hovering over a carcass. are your lives so uneventful and unfulfilling that you have to attack everyone? on every post? do you think that your rants make you look smarter? are you a more viable human being now that you've cut someone - anyone - everyone - completely down? c'mon people, running a poll because you're not done picking and being cruel?
i agree that a lot of the stories posted here call for a comment. but your opinion is just that, yours. there's no need to be mean just for the sake of being mean. it's too bad that we're all anonymous...it would be interesting to keep track of how many of you do stupid stuff that makes the news. but then you're such a better person, that it couldn't possible happen to you, right?

"man, it's gonna be nuts"
"child-please, we're gonna be all up in there..."
And then she gets blasted, celebrates until 3am and then whacks a freaking police horse.
Awesome!
Not as funny as Gayle being hammered on TV, but funny nonetheless.

jnabna, my thoughts exactly. Most of the people on this blog are here to attack other people, not to comment on the news item. They do it because they are cowards. They would never say the things they post on here to someone's face because they are COWARDS hiding behind their keyboards like little scared lambs. It makes them feel like they have some power which they don't to attack other people. I just ignore them for the most part and consider the source. I do disagree with a lot of posters but I still don't call them names or call them an idiot etc. I don't have to hide behind a keyboard, the name you see is mine and I am proud of it. And misstampa why don't you let it go. Most of us are over it. I am starting to think you may be posting the same comment over and over at the behest of a competitor of Gayle Guyardos. misstampa is a fine example of people who lead a miserable little life and post nothing but negative here. I have never seen her post anything positive about anyone at all. She must be a wannabe beauty contestant winner which I gather from her name.

Police animals wear badges. They are considered part of law enforcement. If you don't want to respect the animal, you must respect the badge and what it stands for. Even if she only pushed the animals leg, it would be the same as pushing the officers leg , which could be considered assault.
