2nd teen held in North Miami-Dade horse killings

9/25/09

In August, I wrote about the plague of horse killing in south Florida:

Diversity in Miami Now Includes Cruel Horse Slaughter.
Now two perps have been arrested, both hispanic.

Americans don't eat horse meat; foreigners do (e.g., ten percent of Mexico's horses are slaughtered for food).
Police have arrested a second teen in connection with the recent North Miami-Dade horse killings that are believed to be fueled by a market for equine meat.

Santiago Cabrera, a 19-year-old from Hialeah, was arrested Monday night and charged with armed burglary, animal cruelty, killing a registered breed horse and breaking or injuring a fence. Last week, police arrested Luis Miguel Cordero, 18, on similar charges.

Cabrera was being held without bond Tuesday at the county's pretrial detention center. Cabrera and Cordero are believed to be among four people who took part in killing a horse at two different ranches. Miami-Dade police are still searching for two other suspects whose names have not been released.

It is unclear if the two teens are linked to other horse killings in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. At least 17 horses have been slaughtered this year in South Florida...
