At least five horses have been killed around Pearland, Texas since late May — but it’s the way they’re being killed and what’s being done to their carcasses that’s particularly disturbing to locals.
Pearland police made their first discovery June 10. Responding to an animal cruelty call along the 14000 block of Kirby Drive, they found a horse, dead and butchered.
Police told the property owner, Jason Bockel, that they had never seen anything like it, FOX 26 Houston reported.
“They were just speechless,” he said.
His son Tyler was the first to see the dead horse. He went out that morning to feed the horses, Goldie and Sugar, and found them tied to a tree. The killer — or killers — picked Goldie and spared Sugar.
“I hit the ground immediately, she was butchered. She was murdered,” the son told FOX 26. “Nobody should ever have to go through that and see what I seen.”
Goldie had been stabbed in the chest, according to police. After bleeding to death, the horse’s backstrap, and front and hind quarters were removed — cuts that lead police to believe Goldie was killed for her meat.
Police discovered the two latest killings Saturday.
The owner called police after noticing the animals were missing, and that fencing along their property had been cut. The horses were found half a mile away, butchered just like Goldie.
Two more horses have been reported slaughtered in nearby jurisdictions, Pearland police says. One on May 22, the earliest known incident, and another June 29.
Given the similarity and proximity of the killings, police told KHOU that the same person or group of people is likely responsible for all five deaths.
“The Pearland Police Department is encouraging horse owners and residents to be vigilant and report all suspicious activities,” the department said.

Criminals who do things like this to such precious animals need to be perp-walked to the nearest tree and hanged immediately! My guess is that it has been done by illegal alien invaders who shouldn’t be here in the first place.
Agree.
Sounds to me that they might be trying to get rid of some modes of transportation .THINK ,NOT JUST READ .
Hanging is to kind for these subhuman morons. A guillotine is way to humane for use as execution. Hower ,dragging these subhumans through cactus and rocks for miles would be appropriate , verses a really slow hanging , not being dropped , but slow “raised from the ground , like one half inch an hour , until…….
why not do the same thing to them as they did to the horses
Yes and have a horse do the dragging!
These coward need to be dumped in the middle of a Volcano or the Sea of sharks.
Throw the book at them when caught hang them, just like the old days.
Find these evil scumbags and torture them until they are an inch from death, then when they are begging and crying, pour gas on them an light them up. They deserve nothing less!
Go over to Freon Texas and meet the real world you cry baby’s. Or how about an abortion clinic. Do the world a favor.
There is no way this is compared to abortion. Because abortion is murder of an innocent baby, and yes in my book that is 100 times worse. But this is still murder of innocent animals and someone else’s property which makes it bad and unlawful.
I pray to God to please let them stumble and make mistakes so they can be captured. These poor innocent defenseless animals and the owners should have their justice.
I don’t see how anyone could do another man’s property this way. It is stealing, it is destructive, it is low down and dirty
Does any of this sound like some weird cults work?
….This is typical of poor hungry Latino immigrants. Kill quickly. Take what they can carry away right now. And scoot…Horse and donkey are commonly eaten in the poor areas of Central and South America….Of course the poorest of people can afford to own them, so they steal or capture privately owned Equines and dine….They actually prefer horse/caballos, because it is very lean and actually higher in protein then cattle….They also prefer poorer horse owners horses, because they are far less likely to have been vaccinated or under treatment for infections or anything else…It is a fact of life folks, when you are hungry enough, you will eat anything….Horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, infected bats and pangolins….and when things seem bad enough….PEOPLE!!!….Healthy younger ones first, the flesh is more tender….
That’s why we need to build the wall!! Trump2Q2Q
For those of you who have never eaten horse meat it tastes quite good. From the sound of this, someone is feeding his or her family, and then going after more when they run out. Since most horses are pets they are often easier to work with than cattle so this makes sense even if it does great harm to the owners emotionally. As things continue to deteriorate in this country then such crimes as these will happen more often.
not many people eat horse. the meet is stringy and tough. I had it while working at a chinese restaurant that offered many choices that are normal in china including dog. I didn’t try it. I did try raw monkey brains. Ugh! I was a bit high with that one. further things to find would be if they were mares and pregnant. it could narrow what area in china this practice is done and may lead them to someone that immigrated from china. takes someone a bit “un-normal ” to want this or kill horses. I even object to sending them for dog food. because this is localized someone knows someone that has strange eating habits. it can’t be anything else because if someone is hungry the areas are not faraway that has cattle and the meat is better tasting and wouldn’t draw the same attention. are the owners related in any way?revenge would just kill the animal. I hope they catch this one before they kill another.——Grampa
those of you who think you have never eaten horse meat, think again. Recently the slaughter houses are shut down in the US so meat is coming in from Australia and S. America. Included In the castle carcasses is dead horses mixed in as seen by the type of hooves. Enjoy your McDonald hamburgers. By thee way I used to be a Federal Food Inspector.
Isn’t horse stealing, still a hanging offense in Texas? I know it’s not used but, I think it’s still on the books as a law.
