Overview
- The calf was part of the Bio Escuela sustainability project at Bernardino Rivadavia Primary School in Hernando, Córdoba.
- Children found the animal missing in the morning and a cut fence, prompting a search that uncovered parts scattered around town.
- Police detained a 39-year-old man from Santiago del Estero at a nearby home, where about 50 kilos of meat were found and tools such as knives, a pincer, a mallet, a machete, and a phone were seized.
- School leaders allege the act involved several people and was done out of cruelty rather than for consumption, claims that have not been confirmed by forensic reports.
- The case is under the Río Tercero prosecutor’s office, and the school reports significant emotional distress among students and staff.
