Unsolved Mystery: Cattle Mutilation




Cattle mutilation (also known as bovine excision) is the apparent killing and then mutilation of cattle under unusual or anomalous circumstances. Sheep, cows and horses have allegedly been mutilated under similar circumstances.

A hallmark of these incidents is the surgical nature of the mutilation, and unexplained phenomena such as the complete draining of the animal's blood, loss of internal organs with no obvious point of entry, and surgically precise removal of the reproductive organs and anal coring.
Another reported event is that the animal is found dumped in an area where there are no marks or tracks leading to or from the carcass, even when it is found in soft ground or mud. The precise removal of organs and cauterization of the mutilated carcasses has led some investigators to suggest that the perpetrators are using some form of laser. Investigators have reported a strange chemical smell associated with the mutilated cattle and the carcass being covered with a white powder. Equally puzzling is the fact that there are no tracks of predators, vehicles, or footprints leading to or from the carcass. The lack of tracks or blood trails suggests that the cattle were taken to another location and killed. After being mutilated, the cattle were then dropped in the general area from where they had been originally taken.

Since the time that reports of purported animal mutilations began, the causes have been attributed variously to natural decomposition, normal predators, cryptid predators (like the Chupacabra [will be covered in next post] ), extraterrestrials, secretive governmental or military agencies, and cults.

At locations of cattle mutilations there are usually sightings of UFO's or unmarked black helicopters. Some ranchers have even reported seeing a UFO abducting the cattle in their fields. These sightings and the surgical precision of the mutilations have led some researchers to believe that extraterrestrials are to blame. The researchers speculate that the extraterrestrials take the animals' parts and blood to study at their leisure.

Skeptics contend that these cattle mutilations can be blamed on satanic cults and natural predators. They suggest that scavengers like ants and vultures go first for the softest dead tissue like the lips, eyes, and rectum. They argue that once the cow's heart stops pumping the blood will flow to and coagulate in the lowest portion of the body, giving it an appearance of being drained of all blood.

Ranchers have lost thousands of dollars from these cattle mutilations and local authorities have conducted extensive investigations. To this day the identity of the perpetrators and their reason for mutilating the cattle remains a mystery.
