$300 to Butcher a Horse

A teenager was arrested by the Hialeah and Miami-Dade police when he was taken with incriminating evidence and confessed to having butchered a horse in company with another man. The details of his act, for which he was paid $300 by someone as yet unknown, are so gruesome that I can't bring myself to put them into this entry. You can read more at the September 17 posting of The Miami Herald: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami-dade/story/1237437.html.


Sadly, a September 10 posting at the same newspaper site tells us that a racehorse has been slaughtered. The police are investigating thoroughly to see if these two crimes are related and of course to find out who else is involved.

If anyone has any information, please call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
