Following an anonymous tip, which coincided with active investigations being conducted by Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), operatives entered a rural area known as the C-9 Basin in Hialeah, Florida, on Wednesday morning, January 10th, 2018.

What initiated as a report of two small dump sites of the head and legs of butchered horses, quickly merged into one of the largest, and most gruesome horse slaughter discoveries in the long history of ARM’s black market horse meat trade investigations.

Following a brief canvassing of the area by the two ARM investigations that were live on the scene, almost twenty individual bodies of horses were found strewn along a desolate road of an area renown for horse slaughter, illegal animal slaughter operations and ritualistic ceremonies using animals (Santeria and Palo Mayombe).

On Thursday, 11th January, 2018, ARM’s Founder and investigators sifted through the gathered evidence and it’s investigations will continue on this case.
