Horse Serial Killers
This new episode of Dark Outdoors picks up where the original investigation left off, diving even deeper into a chilling and ongoing mystery that now spans multiple states. Horses are being executed in fields, dumped in remote brush, or tied up and shot at close range—in areas like Kendall, Waller, Bexar, and Smith Counties in Texas, and now near Las Vegas, Nevada.
Are these attacks connected to the illegal horse meat trade? Could they be ritualistic? Or are thrill killers operating undetected? With exclusive reporting from Higher Calling Wildlife, this episode uncovers new leads, broader implications, and a growing sense of urgency around what may be one of the most underreported animal cruelty crime waves in the U.S.
Listen now to this gripping continuation of the investigation.
Horse Killing Investigation
Chester Moore has been documenting these disturbing events for years. In his in-depth reports, he raises serious concerns about the lack of media attention and law enforcement coordination surrounding these crimes. Moore highlights how the pattern of killings often includes signs of planning and precision—sometimes even occurring near major roads or public lands—suggesting the perpetrators are operating without fear of being caught. His work calls for greater public awareness and urges the outdoor community to remain vigilant, report suspicious activity, and push for stronger investigative efforts to protect both animals and rural landowners.
