Miami Horse Slaughters: A Break in the Case
Great news for some South Florida horse lovers! Authorities in Miami-Dade county have arrested Luis Miguel Cordero after catching him in a horse pasture in possession of butcher tools. He apparently confessed to at least one of the slaughters and is facing numerous charges ranging from armed burglary to animal cruelty. It is even more sad when you see that this man is only 18 years old – barely an adult. Authorities are stressing that there is no evidence of any connection between the crime that Cordero confessed to and the other slaughters that have taken place this year. Police are still urging horse owners to be vigilant and keep a tight rein on their animals. Let’s hope that they throw the book at this guy and make an example of him for all other amateur horse butchers.

I hope he rots in prison! That is absolutely disgusting what happened to that horse, and if there are more, I can’t say the words here!
One more slime ball off the streets! Wish we could get them all!

I know! I’m so glad they caught this guy and I really hope that it sends the message to others that they are taking these slaughters seriously. I absolutely cannot believe how many horses are being killed for meat in this area! I have to wonder….are things REALLY that bad or are people just trying to capitalize on what they view as an opportunity to make money? I mean, this guy is SO young. It’s really a shame. Glad he’s off the street though!

I can hardly imagine the cruelty of that. What would make one so young like that?

Exactly, I hope they make an example of him, that will hopefully deter further violence towards these horses. He may be young, but he really should know what is right and what is wrong at this point in his life.
