Not just the horses, but people had cows in their attics that they would use for milk, that they would hoist up there and keep them in the attic until literally their milk ran out and they died, and then they would drag them off to the bone boilers down the street.
C'erano i cavalli, e le mucche che le persone tenevano in soffitta per il latte. Le tenevano lì finché non esaurivano il latte e morivano, e a quel punto le trascinavano dai bollitori di ossa lungo la strada.
