Deputies in North Carolina say hair is being cut from horses' tails. Nash County Sheriff's Office made a post about the hair on Facebook. Deputies said they are getting several reports of unknown suspects cutting of the tail hair of horses in pastures in the area. "Apparently there is a high demand for horsehair and they are selling the hair," the post said. "If you see anything suspicious, please let us know."In March, the Camden County Sheriff's Office reported someone cut off the hair of a horses' tail. In that Facebook post, authorities said horsehair can be used for several applications including artificial hair, wigs, extensions or in art projects. "Just as important as the theft is the effect this act has on the horse due to the fact their tails are the first line of defense against biting insects, etc," the post said. "And it is estimated to take several years for the tail to grow back to original length."
