If I recall correctly, they were doing it without the stallions owners' permission. They were trying to steal the semen.
Ah, so they most definitely saw jail time. Horse breeding is VERY highly regulated and protected, because gambling is a very big industry.
Good! Good! I truly hope so. Also, full disclosure, I know next to nothing about horse breeding, except the salient point that it can be like all animal breeding (esp, dog breeds) in that it can be lucrative and thus have demand to pay for breeding sessions, in the thousands and thousands of $ per heat. Breeding done by people who mean no good but personal gain and devoid of love and want of not harming these animals, they are the most vulgar of people. I can’t say I know how to do it properly, but I feel intuitive that horse studding can require and facilitate a lot of money and knowing that poor horse died because of their criminal level of greed, is even more sickening.
I'm not going to attempt to touch the ethics etc, but horses and greyhound breeding have completely different sets of regulations than other animals. Gambling is such a big industry, therefore tax source, that it is highly controlled. Governments know why an illegal breeding attempt of a stud stallion would happen, and it isn't because they like that horse's coat.
