Really sad and it looks like things are getting worse everywhere, God knows why. It appears that more and more arson incidents are happening in the United States as well: http://www.statista.com/statistics/252459/number-of-arson-offenses-in-the-united-states-by-type/
It's really a terrible and incredibly dangerous thing to do. My family in Ireland were also saying that a horse was recently set on fire and burned to death in our hometown. You really have to wonder what's going through people's minds....
