Linda – Horse Slaughter

Linda – Horse Slaughter

Linda and her foal were led out of their stall one night. Once outside the stall, 2 men jammed a knife under her chin, but due to her strength she never went to the ground. Next the men started slamming and breaking her legs with a pipe while she called for her foal so they sat on her head/neck as the others ripped her apart for the meat. The two men that butchered Linda admitted that as they left with 80% of her meat, she was still trying to call out for her baby. She was later burned. When I arrived to the scene the baby was trying to nurse off the burnt carcass of her mother Linda.
