The Cuban police have been immersed, for several weeks, in a crusade against the perpetrators of acts of theft and slaughter of large cattle.
This was a loud claim on the part of the peasants who every night had to mourn the loss of their work animals. The arrests have been made in all the provinces, although Villa Clara has grabbed headlines in recent days in this regard.
The police of that central province arrested last Friday a man who was dedicated to stealing cattle, then he killed the animals and sold their meat. The protagonist lived and carried out his crimes in the town of Hatillo. Multiple implements that he used in each action were found in his home.
By the way, the Facebook profile linked to the Ministry of the Interior, Fuerza del Pueblo, indicated the detainee as Yoslandy Francisco Morera Ramírez. Alias ”El Pila”, the alleged perpetrator of such acts had a criminal record and had been denounced as a suspect several months ago.
irrefutable evidence
On the farm of the protagonist of this story, the remains of seven cattle were found, as well as a horse, still alive but ready to be sacrificed. In full investigation after the arrest, the police have irrefutable evidence to formally accuse the alleged perpetrator of these events.
Cases like this one in question have been repeated in the province of Villa Clara itself in recent days. For example, the week that just ended, the local police arrested another three butchers of large cattle. Those involved stole the animals in the middle of the morning and then sacrificed them to sell their meat.
As if that were not enough, 133 pounds of beef were seized at the home of an illegal receiver and seller in the Placetas municipality. Villa Clara registered more than 12,000 thefts and sacrifices of major cattle during the past 2022, a figure that could be higher than the end of this year.
