A family in Florida found their horse slaughtered in what authorities called a “horrific crime.”
Officers were called at around 8 a.m. Friday morning to a pasture in the Naples area after the horse’s remains were found.
“Someone entered the pasture sometime between midnight and 5 a.m. and led the horse to a neighboring pasture where they butchered the animal,” the Collier County Sheriff’s Office said, saying that they believe that “the suspect or suspects were after the horse’s meat.”
