Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Horse Poaching: Miami-Dade Police Investigate New Report by: Pat Raia July 20 2009, Article # 14568 Law enforcement authorities in Florida are investigating the death of another horse apparently butchered for its meat. Miami-Dade County Police discovered the horse's carcass July 19 after an anonymous tipster reported it lying near a roadway. The flesh from the horse's sides had been removed and its neck was mutilated. The incident is the latest among a dozen similar horse killings in and around Miami-Dade County. In June, a rancher discovered two slaughtered horses partially buried in a dirt mound on his Miami-Dade property. In May, authorities found the butchered remains of two Paso Fino horses near the Miami-Dade County border. Police speculate the incidents are tied to an illegal horsemeat market in Florida. As the investigations continue, police encourage anyone with information about the Miami-Dade incidents to call Crime Stoppers at 305/471-TIPS, or visit crimestoppersmiami.com.
