Miami-Dade, FL – Over the weekend, someone cut through fencing and stole a family’s two beloved horses from their stalls. The horses, Sammy and War on the Home Front, were found the next day, dumped in a canal not far from their home; someone had butchered them for meat, leaving bones and their heads behind.

The horses’ owner, David Bradley, told WSVN News, “They’re our children, and they were abducted and killed for meat.”

Bradley had reached out via social media to try and find the horses after it was discovered that they were missing.

Explaining why he believes his horses were slaughtered to CBS News:

“This is a big cultural thing. In Cuba, people believe that eating horse meat will cure things like AIDS and cancer. That’s like going into someone’s yard, and eating their dog because they think it makes them grow wings, it’s ridiculous.”
