In this gripping episode of Dark Outdoors, we uncover a chilling and ongoing mystery unfolding across Texas and beyond—where horses are being found shot, mutilated, or poisoned in a string of brutal and unexplained attacks.
From Kendall and Waller Counties to Bexar and Smith, horses are being executed in pastures, dumped in brush, or even tied up and shot in the head. Authorities have few leads—and the killers remain free.
We examine whether these killings are tied to the illegal horse meat trade, part of a ritualistic pattern, or the work of thrill killers. And we expand our search beyond Texas—to Nevada—where a serial horse killer is targeting ranch animals near Las Vegas with chilling precision.
With exclusive insight from Higher Calling Wildlife’s investigative reports, this episode dives deep into what may be a multi-state pattern of cruelty, fear, and silence. If you’re a rancher, horse owner, or outdoor enthusiast, you won’t want to miss this investigation into what might be the most underreported animal cruelty crime wave in the U.S.
Follow Us At Gulf Great White Shark Society
In June 2025, I launched the Gulf Great White Shark Society, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the presence and importance of great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.
Timed with the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the Society’s founding celebration took place at the Museum of the Gulf Coast in Port Arthur, Texas, featuring a documentary premiere, awards, and scholarships honoring young conservationists.
The Society has already garnered recognition, with its website receiving “Best Outdoors Website” honors from the Texas Outdoor Writers Association.
