The police in Menoufia, Egypt, arrested two butchers in the village of Ashleem in Qweisna on charges of slaughtering horses and selling their meat as local meat. This came after the butchers rented a house in the village, brought horses, and slaughtered them for sale. The residents discovered their actions after the horses were brought to the house and then disappeared, prompting them to inform the police.
The police managed to apprehend the butchers, who claimed to be from outside the village and stated that slaughtering horses is permissible. It was confirmed that the butchers were caught in the act, with horse meat present and another horse hanging for slaughter. The seized items were confiscated, and the butchers were arrested. A report was filed regarding the incident, and the prosecution is investigating.
