Disruption as a method of execution consists of tying each leg of the victim to horses or other animals, to two winches or other pulling machines, such as the rack, or to two small trees that have been bent down to the ground and then releasing the trees to spring up or pulling simultaneously with the animals or machines so that the body of the execution victim is pulled apart. One celebrated victim of such an execution was Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia, who, on her nephew's orders, was subjected to horrific extension on the rack for three days, before suffering final dismemberment between four horses.
In Korea, during the periods of 12th and 18th century, there was a form of punishment that was called "Neung Ji Cheo Cham" that would involve four hooved animals (ox, horse), and a criminal. The victim's legs and arms would each be tied to the four animals separately, and on one instance, all animals would be commanded or whipped to run in opposite directions, thereby literally 'tearing' the victims body in 5 pieces (two legs, two arms and the torso)
