Cubans but also Haitians and Nicaraguans — like to celebrate their diversity by eating horsemeat

We would like to celebrate their diversity in kind by gagging them, breaking their legs, cutting off large chunks of flesh, then killing them! [Mooserider]
The PC journalists who wrote these several stories appear to go out their way to cover up that the horse killers were also illegal aliens.

Animal Abuse: A Serial Horse Killer is on the Loose in South Florida

By Pete Kotz from Sep. 18 2009
Since March, 20 horses in the Miami area have been found murdered. Animal rights activists say it stems from a rising market for their meat, which can fetch up to $40 per pound on the black market. It's considered a delicacy in certain cultures, and some people believe it can cure things like AIDS and cancer.

None of this is true, of course, but the myths have been enough to sustain the killing spree. All 20 animals were found butchered. And horse owners in the area were forced to check on their animals hourly to make sure they were okay.

But police have nabbed at least one man. Luis Miguel Cordero hatched a plan to kill two horses in Miami Gardens and promised to pay a friend $2,000 to help. The friend, however, decided it was the better part of valor to rat him. So police had the ranch under surveillance when Cordero arrived. Investigators don't think he's responsible for the other attacks, but the ranch owner doesn't seem concerned about that. "It's great, great - I hope he dies in jail," Lourdes Perez told WPLG-TV.

Florida: Immigrant Horse Killer Takes Plea Deal

Posted By Brenda Walker On 20 November 2010 @ 6:06 In Crime, Immigration

Animal lovers of south Florida have been sickened over the last couple years about the cruel slaughter of horses by strangers in the night. Families were shocked to find beloved family pets with their throats slit and cut into pieces.

The motive is money: the immigrants of the area — largely Cubans but also Haitians and Nicaraguans — like to celebrate their diversity by eating horsemeat and are willing to pay top dollar on the black market; up to $40 per pound has been reported. An adult horse can yield 400 pounds of meat, so a night of brutal slaughter can bring thousands of dollars to the killer.

As animal rescuer Richard Couti remarked, “South Florida is probably one of the only places in the United States that a dead horse is much more valuable than a live horse.”

Two men were arrested in the crimes and one, Santiago Cabrera, took a plea deal this month rather than face the possibility of life in prison.

Accused horse butcher pleads guilty, Miami Herald, November 17, 2010

More than a year after approaching police with information on a spate of gruesome Miami-Dade horse killings, Santiago Cabrera pleaded guilty Wednesday to being one of the butchers.

Cabrera pleaded guilty to an array of felonies, and will be sentenced Dec. 17 in front of Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Sarah Zabel. He likely will receive about five years — the amount prosecutors had offered in earlier plea negotiations that fell through.

Cabrera’s defense attorney, Juan Gonzalez, said his client was “extremely remorseful.”

The 20-year-old was one of two men accused of breaking into farms in Northwest Miami-Dade last year and killing several horses — butchering some of them while still alive, investigators said.

Cabrera pleaded guilty to charges including armed burglary and cruelty to animals. The second defendant, Luis Cordero, 19, is still awaiting trial.

The case has drawn widespread media attention, and the court hearings have been packed with animal lovers from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and South Florida Trail Riders.

“This was a ghastly crime, cutting chunks of flesh from these horses while they were still alive,” said Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle. “Such a cruel act merits prison, something we have sought from the moment we filed this case.”

Miami-Dade prosecutors believe the horses were killed so their meat could be sold for food.

According to Miami-Dade police, Cordero and Cabrera, along with two other men, broke into the Stone City ranch July 9, 2009, and removed a horse from its stall. The group slit the horse’s throat, broke its legs and began cutting meat from its legs, rear and back while the horse was still alive, police said.

Another news report said deportation (!) might be in Cabrera’s future.
