Cattle mutilation
Cattle mutilation is the killing and mutilation of cattle under supposedly unusual, usually bloodless circumstances. Reportedly removed parts often include an ear, eyeball, jaw flesh, tongue, lymph nodes, genitals and rectum. Reports began in the late 1960s and continued into the 1980s. In that era, mutiliations were the subject of multiple independent investigations in the United States.
Many so-called mutilations are explainable as natural decomposition and normal predation. Multiple lines of evidence suggest some of the deaths might have been the result of an organized effort. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists suggest cults, aliens, or cryptid (such as the chupacabra) were responsible.
Reports of mutilations began in 1967, and by 1973, "waves" of mutilations were being reported.
While many so-called mutilation are explainable through entirely natural means, multiple lines of evidence suggest that some portion of the cattle mutilations in the 1970s and 1980s might have been the result of an organized effort by humans. Lab tests found some animals had been sedated with known drugs. Unidentified aircraft, said to sound like a quiet lawn mower, were reported near mutilation sites. Cattle were found to have been marked with a chemical that glowed under florescent light, suggesting some animals were pre-selected for the procedure.
Decades later, it was revealed that stealth helicopters had secretly been developed and deployed in the early 1970s. 21st-century authors speculate so-called "mutilations" might have stemmed from covert monitoring of threats to public health or perhaps some sort of secret weapons test.
The earliest known documented outbreak of unexplained livestock deaths occurred in early 1606 "...about the city of London and some of the shires adjoining. Whole slaughters of sheep have been made, in some places to number 100, in others less, where nothing is taken from the sheep but their tallow and some inward parts, the whole carcasses, and fleece remaining still behind. "Of this sundry conjectures, but most agree that it tendeth towards some fireworks." The outbreak was noted in the official records of the Court of James I of England. Charles Fort collected many accounts of cattle mutilations that occurred in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Unexplained livestock deaths were relatively unknown until 1967, when the Pueblo Chieftain published a story about a horse called "Snippy" that was mysteriously found mutilated in Alamosa, Colorado.
On September 9, 1967, Agnes King and her son Harry reportedly found the dead body of their three-year-old horse. The horse's head and neck had been skinned and defleshed, and the body displayed cuts that, to King, looked very precise. No blood was at the scene, according to Harry, and a strong medicinal odor was in the air.
