Wild Horses Are Being Murdered Across This Country

Updated on January 24, 2020

Wild horses are either being shot or poisoned.

All across this country, wild horses are being found shot to death. As if we don't have enough to deal with watching the BLM. Several different states have reported finding dead horses in different kinds of terrain so the area doesn't seem to be a factor. Why this is happening is unknown. Who is doing it is unknown. Law enforcement can't seem to get a handle on it. The forestry service is also investigating. It is common knowledge that killing horses is against the law. Are people doing this for fun? Unknown. There are also reports of horses being poisoned. On and off public lands. It would seem there is a new killer out there.

Murdered horses aren't something new.

Murdered wild horses and domesticated horses really isn't a new trend. These go back quite a few years. But some of the killers are still on the loose. Some of the horses found dead were also mutilated. Parts of the horses were missing. Authorities believe these mutilations were to obtain horse meat for various reasons. One, food to cure various ailments. Another witchcraft. The real reason is anyone's guess.

For years livestock have been found mutilated.

In the past, if an animal was found mutilated, it was thought to be cult members. Today cult has changed to witchcraft and the like. Satanism, etc. At one point they were thought to have fallen prey to UFOs and aliens. That doesn't seem to be the case today. Today some of these people don't need a reason. Shoot an animal just because it is there... Let's see what happens if we shoot it. Killing for fun. Nowadays, it seems nobody needs a reason. They get a new rifle for a present and immediately start looking for something to shoot at. Although they are not all shot. Some are poisoned.

Not all of the killings are intentional.

Not all of the killings are killings, they are simply accidental. As in the video above, the horses were killed by an additive in their feed. As was another case in the same area, where 50 horses were fed horse grain containing Moneson, An additive given to mostly cattle as an antibiotic. While it is good for cattle, its quite deadly to horses. And the sad part is there is no known antidote. I have to ask why would you have an antibiotic and not have an antidote? It Doesn't make much sense to me.

One of the worse cases of shot and killed horses.

One of the worse most recent horse killings was in eastern Kentucky. 15 horses were found shot in an abandoned strip mine. See the link below.

Killing horses seems to be the new pastime.

I could go on and on with video links, but the message would be the same. Someone is killing wild horses. And as I said before, law enforcement can't seem to get a handle on it. I'm sure its safe to say that they can't watch all the horses all the time. It's going to have to be a joint effort on everyone's part. Sooner or later the people doing this WILL be caught. I wonder what the story will be.

The way horses should be...Free and unharmed.

No answers at this time.

Authorities are at a loss to say who or why these animals are being killed. You can second guess all you want. There is a chance we will never know. All we can do is keep these horses in safe areas, and watch for suspicious activity. It could be anyone. They could be using a rifle or a pistol. Nobody has said what caliber ammunition was used. No idea whether they were driving a vehicle, riding another horse, or flying. In some cases, the horses were chased. Then shot. Or executed, one can only speculate. I can assure you I will follow this until we find out who the perpetrators are, and are brought to justice. This is happening in Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, just about anywhere the horses are roaming free. And it is not just on public lands...people are losing their horses on their own property. It all doesn't make sense. I will report more as I get new information.
