The investigation into a series of horse killings in Florida widened on June 19 when a rancher discovered two slaughtered horses partially buried in a dirt mound on his Miami-Dade County property.


The discovery is the latest in an ongoing Miami-Dade Police investigation into a series of incidents involving horses slaughtered by poachers.


A similar investigation is ongoing in Miramar, Fla., where the butchered remains of two Paso Fino horses were discovered on May 6.


Police speculate the incidents are connected to an illegal horsemeat market in Florida
