This is not about the horse slaughter act in the US and which side of the issue in which you believe. We are interested in horses that have been taken from their home and found with the meat removed. I know this is a terrible act and we would like to find out where else in the world it may be happening.
Please pass this to your friends, list groups and associations so we can learn more about this crime.
We appreciate your help in finding other cases as we research other incidents of this terrible act against our horses.

Horses stolen and slaughtered in the US and Canada
We know that horses are being stolen and butchered in Florida. Please read the following commentary about the butchering of the horses in Florida. Is Florida the only state in which this is happening or are there others? We would like your comments and locations of other such cases in the United States and Canada.
Stolen Horse International Commentary on Florida Horse Theft and Dismemberment
If you stop the horse theft, you help stop the killings.
There has been a very disturbing case involving "Geronimo," an 8-year-old Quarter Horse stolen from Ivonne Rodriguez of Redland, Florida. Although an official report had not been filed, Stolen Horse International had been alerted to the theft of this horse and was one of the reasons we issued a IDAHO ALERT theft warning this past weekend for that area.
The Paint horse was taken from his pasture, walked to a nearby field, tied to a tree, killed and stripped of the meat on his body. His decapitated carcass was found Thursday, March 5, 2009 not far from his own home. His head was later recovered, which gave the unmistakable true identity of the horse who had suffered in this crime.
This is a horrible ending to a beautiful horse and we, at Stolen Horse International and our volunteer NetPosse members, hurt for the Rodriquez family. But they are not alone.
