Seems to me I recall ANOTHER very similar occurrence happening in Chicago some years back.
Yes indeed, it’s the Chicago way - sickening method to collect money and dispose of the horses. I need to look into this one, I knew someone with several horses in McHenry county - hoping none of his were where this fire took place.
A whole string of them, actually. When there’s an arson with horses involved in Chicago, I’m pretty sure that is an automatic FBI red flag.
Last one was less than a year ago, iirc. No foul play in that one.
