http://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/loxahatchee-acreage/animal-cruelty-investigation-underway-in-loxahatchee-area-sheriffs-office-saysAn animal cruelty investigation has resulted in 6 arrests and the seizure of about 750 animals, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office.
Chopper 5 recorded police activity at property in the Loxahatchee area.
An organization called Animal Recovery Mission issued a news release stating that the activity is a raid on three animal slaughter farms and horse meat operations.
ARM staff members said the owners of three farms: Rancho Garcia, G-A Paso Fino and Medina Farm have been slaughtering horses to sell their meat.
ARM's president Richard Couto says the agency witnessed grisly acts of brutality against animals.
This is a residential neighborhood in Western Palm Beach County (before you get to farm country of The Glades). These farms have been in the news for years because neighbors have been witnessing the killing of these animals in plain view. Disgusting. Glad he was finally caught, but what took the State of Florida so long?? Horrible.
