The changing population around the Miami area has included a very cruel expression of diversity, namely the theft and slaughter of horses for monstrous purposes. It’s been going on for years; my first report was in 2009: Diversity in Miami Now Includes Cruel Horse Slaughter [1].
Americans object to animal cruelty, but often don’t understand how unusual we are in that respect among world cultures — see Diversity Is Strength! It`s Also… Cruelty To Animals [2], 2006.
Below, from the 2009 AP report Miami area on edge over horse slaughters [3], animal cruelty investigator Richard Couto comforts a colt, whose mother was butchered at a Miami stable.
It’s very painful for a family to see the body of their beloved pet cruelly stripped of its flesh [4], sometimes while the animal was alive.
Cubans, Mexicans and other hispanics like to eat horse meat, and seem not to mind if it is procured illegally and with brutality. Santeria is a Caribbean form of witchcraft that includes animal sacrifice as a norm, although chickens apparently are more common victims [5].
This cruelty against horses is some of the diversity we are supposed to celebrate.
Horses Found Slaughtered Near Northwest Miami-Dade Farm [6], NBC Miami, January 10 2018
Officials from one animal rights group released details about a disturbing discovery of horses found slaughtered at one Northwest Miami-Dade farm Wednesday.
Animal Recovery Mission said they found numerous animals dead at the farm located at 17900 NW 129th Avenue. One ARM member, investigator Rachel Taylor, said the animals were found in several stages of decomposition – with Miami-Dade Police saying they found remains dating back as far as two months.
Taylor said the group was notified about a horse dead in the area early Wednesday morning and found several different locations where bodies were found.
“They weren’t slaughtered here because we didn’t see any blood and they’re all in bags, so they’re probably being slaughtered somewhere in this area and then dumped here,” Taylor said.
Miami-Dade Police said the remains of possibly two horses date back about one or two months. Bones and other remains including at least 10 other horse skulls were also found in the area but were not recent, police said.
The animals were found stripped of their meat for likely human consumption, according to Taylor, as well as for religious rituals associated with Santeria.
