Target: David Black, Sheriff of Otero County, New Mexico
Goal: Investigate string of killings involving several horses.
A New Mexico town has become the hunting ground for a serial horse executioner. A total of seven horses have been shot to death in Cloudcroft. The bodies of the animals were discovered in remote locations.
An unknown person or persons shot five of the horses in a short span of time. A few weeks later, two more deceased horses were found. All of the animals had been left to the mercy of scavengers. Little investigation appears to have taken place, since an animal advocacy group—and not law enforcement—is offering an award for information. The group cannot even be sure if the horses were under the care of someone, or if they were wild horses.
No matter their status, these living beings deserve justice. Sign the petition below to demand local authorities take this troubling case seriously.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Sheriff Black,
“The animals of the community are at risk; the people of the community are at risk.” These words of warning come from the only people seemingly investigating a case of mass animal cruelty. Seven horses were gunned down in Otero County, and none of these animals survived.
Why is Animal Protection New Mexico apparently the only local entity that is posting flyers, offering rewards, or even attempting a cursory investigation into these events? The organization is right. Since animal cruelty is so often a precursor to even more violent acts, the community is at risk. Even in the absence of this fact, cruelty against animals is supposed to be a crime.
Please treat these disturbing acts as such, and open a full and immediate investigation.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I can’t believe the killing of these innocent animals is not being investigated. I no longer am surprised when tragic things happen these days – we just let things go so the perpetrators see no problem with going ahead with their evil plans. Shame on us for being so ignorant.
DEAR SHERIFF BLACK, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO YOUR JOB. FIND THOSE RESSPONSIBLE.
I second that. GET OFF YOUR ASS
This is atrocious!
Someone kill this animal murderer!! If YOU don’t do your job, Sheriff, we will!!
THIS murderer cannot be allowed to kill more horses…he must rot in hell!!
People are on this monster’s sight as well!!
STOP HIM NOW!!
Outrageous law enforcement is doing nothing! Get off your lazy asses & find this degenerate now!!
As soon as you find this worthless fucking human animal abuser put 10 bullets in his fucking head
Amen!!
This is terrible, DO YOUR JOBS,OR GET OUT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT! We want justice for who is doing this barbaric killing ! Like everyone says GET UP OFF YOUR ASSES AND FIND THIS POS!
This sheriff is spineless not going after who is killing horses.
Doesn’t he think other animals will be next?
Children? Who knows.
The sorry *as pos that did this must be hunted down🎯🔥👈
Find him, fuck him and then put him behind bars.
Totally right
Shoot him to death. Utterly disgusting and tragic. These magnificent creatures should be respected and treasured.
Thank you!
Death to the murderer!!
Perhaps the sheriff is covering for someone. Do we even know what caliber of bullet was used, was it the same for all seven horses?
“Sheriff” Black…is there a hidden/serious reason you will not do any investigation into the killing of these innocent horses…wild or free…they deserve their lives as all do.
As someone said, get off your ass and find the ones responsible for this atrocity. That’s what you get paid for. DO YOUR JOB…
How can this not be investigated. These are the animals that came across that country with you when it was young and exciting. Now you throw them away like trash, doing nothing to keep them safe. Typical shitty human behavior.
Find the evil killer please snd feed him to crocs lions or sharks please!!!!
Police are too busy eating donuts!!! Put those donuts down and do your job searching for this horse serial killer..
who is a danger to All!!!!!
The POS COWARD that committed this crime needs to be found & dealt with anyway possible. When law enforcement turns it’s back then it’s time to take action. This perpetrator would not want to come face-to-face with me, a real animal lover.
Law enforcement need to be on top of this
The whole community is in danger
Find those responsible
I very much hope for the justice to be served
Can’t believe this case has been not pursued as it has to
when you find these murdering cretents, just shoot them and leave them to rot. that is the only justice. Sheriff Black do your f–ig job
Amen!
If you can’t or won’t do your job like it says when your sworn in to protect and serve then get the fuck out and stop wasting good tax payers money for your lazy ass. Maybe just fuck you and let the people of the community do your job as your to be busy with your finger up your ass taking kickbacks and if that’s the case then you need to be like the seven murdered horses.
Back in the day, you stole horses, your ass got strung up at the nearest tree. That was a big hell no. Shooting 7 horses for the fun of it, deserves the same as far as I’m concerned.
I’m sure that someone knows who is killing horses. The sheriff needs to have a reward for information that will lead to the killer or killers. Someone sick enough to kill these horses is probably shooting his mouth off about doing this horrible cruelty. I agree with many other posters that if the sheriff isn’t willing to investigate, get another sheriff that will do his job.
