Tractor carrying a dead horse shocks travellers

A tractor pulling a trailer on the nr.1 ring road by Hella, South Iceland, caught the eye of passing cars. It was carrying a dead horse.
According to a passer by, a line of cars piled up behind the tractor, which was driving slowly. What surprised them was that there was nothing to cover over the dead animal. The dead horse lay there on the trailer, for everyone to see.
“It would be better if people would put a cover over the trailer in cases like this,” says Magnús Ragnarsson of the South Iceland Police. He didn’t know this particular case, but suspected the farmer was heading for a close by disposal area. He was not sure if there is penalty for such a behaviour, and didn’t want to assert anything. “Though this is common courtesy, this is not a pretty sight for people to see,” Ragnarsson added.
