French Agriculture Official Says “At Least 30 Cases” of Surgical Horse Mutilations Throughout France Since 2018.

“It's not just only police who are puzzled by this 'post-mortem mutilation.' The August 17, 2020, case bothers me: it's as if it was done in two stages. And it's the first time that's happened, or at least the first time we've realized it.”
