Police Swarm Local Farm After Vet Makes Horrifying Discovery Inside Pregnant Horse

Within twenty minutes, flashing sirens illuminated the farm. Three police cruisers and an investigator's vehicle pulled up the driveway. Officers quickly secured the barn while an investigator stepped up to a stunned Ben.

"Sir, your vet reported an extreme case of livestock fraud and animal neglect," the officer said. "Who performed this procedure?" Ben stumbled through his explanation, pulling up his phone to show the contract PDFs, bank transfer receipts, and emails from Julian Mercer. The officer logged the evidence, taking photos of the screen. "We don't have this Mercer in our immediate system, but we're opening a formal fraud investigation right away," he assured Ben.

Dr. Evans shook her head bitterly. "Donkey semen costs almost nothing compared to an elite stallion," she explained to the officer. "This guy pocketed thousands in cash, used worthless jackass semen, and skipped the essential 14-day ultrasound to save money—leaving Ben with a fatal twin pregnancy."
