Conducting A Serious Procedure
Ben was very confused, but the vet explained that the mare would have to undergo surgery. They needed some heavy equipment that only the police in the area could provide, which was why they called them. Ben felt immediately relieved knowing he wasn’t in any trouble and his horse wasn’t in danger.
As Ben was leaving to allow the animal doctor to do their job with the help they requested, he was accosted by an officer who had some questions to ask him. This was standard procedure since law enforcement was now involved. There was nothing to hide, so he obliged them.
