 How could anyone do this
Animals perish in stable fire-(Believed to be Arson)
Rescuers managed to save six horses trapped in the fire
A farmer has spoken of his devastation after a number of his animals were killed in a stable fire.
Four horses, a dog, her litter of puppies and five cats and kittens were killed during the blaze in Fochriw, near Rhymney in south Wales.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is being carried out.
The fire is thought to have begun at about 0130 BST on Thursday but despite efforts to save the animals by neighbours, a number perished.
Frank Jones, who cares for the animals said he was "devastated" by what had happened.

"We were woken up last night by a neighbour saying that there were flames coming out of the roof of the stables," he said.
"We rushed up and couldn't believe what we were seeing.
"It was awful, the animals were really distressed and we tried our best to get as many out as we could, but it was too late for some of them.
"It was chaos and we were frantic trying to get them out.
"We don't know what started it but if this was deliberate then it is just too awful to think about.
"I can't believe that anyone could do this to defenceless animals - they were very good natured animals and it has broken my heart.
"I don't think I will ever get over this," he added.
The stables were gutted by the fire
His partner Tina Keating said: "I feel absolutely shattered and my world has fallen apart by this," she said.
"I just can't understand it."
Firefighters from nearby Rhymney and New Tredegar spent six hours at the scene trying to extinguish the fire on Thursday morning and returned to carry out an investigation into the cause of the fire.
"The initial indications showed that it may have been a deliberate ignition," said Station Officer David Morris from the Cefn Fforest station.
"But we are still keeping an open mind until we carry out our investigation.

"It is a really unfortunate incident especially as animals have died.
"I am sure it is very distressing for the family and the people in Fochriw who care for these animals," he added.
Officers from Gwent Police have also visited the scene and are continuing their inquiries

Read the 1st part and didnt carry on, people that purposefully hurt animals are fucking sick!
Once i saw a panorama type programme about these US kids that filmed themselves torturing puppies. They put them in a bin bag and poured parrafin on it, then set it alight. You could see their paws through the bag scrapping away, then they stopped moving SICK!!
