The show jumping sect also have been known to kill horses for the insurance money. There was a huge scandal some years ago where they were finding very expensive show horses mysteriously dead in the stalls. Turns out they electrocute them. I won't go into how - it's horribly inhumane.
Let's just say mink is done up the same way.
