The term “mutilation” is used to describe animal corpses with “unusual” or “inexplicable” features by UFO devotees and those who think our countryside is plagued by Satanic cults in search of animals for rituals. What counts as “unusual” or “inexplicable” is just about any cut, mark, wound, excision, incision, swelling, distention, abrasion, contusion, scrape, bruise, or organ or blood absence. These “mutilations,” we are told, are being done by bad aliens or bad devil worshippers. No one has shown either that there are thousands of inexplicable animal deaths around the globe or that, if there are, they are related, much less that they are the result of alien experimentation or satanic cult activity. These facts, however, are no deterrent to those who are sure we are not alone and that Satan is everywhere. To these true believers, Satanists or visitors from other worlds are not only responsible for the deaths and mutilations of thousands of cattle, horses, cats, and other domestic animals around the globe, they are also responsible for numerous human abductions for the purpose of sacrifice (by the Satanists) or experimental and reproductive surgery (by the aliens). Furthermore, some of these aliens are destroying crops around the globe in an effort to impress us with their artistic abilities or to communicate to us in strange symbols just how much they like our planet’s cattle.
The belief that aliens or Satanists have been killing and mutilating thousands of animals is supported by little more than an argument to ignorance: Since there is a lack of evidence that they aren’t responsible for the deaths or the post mortem conditions of the animals, it follows that the aliens and Satanists are responsible. Defenders of this view reject the notion that there could be an earthly and naturalistic explanation. They are convinced that aliens need cow blood and organs for their experiments and that Satanists need bodies or body parts for their rituals. What seems most convincing to the true believers is that “wounds” or missing organs—such as the tongue and the genitalia—seem completely inexplicable to them in any but mysterious terms, i.e., alien or Satanic surgeons. Naturalistic explanations in terms of diseases and predators (skunks, buzzards, weasels, etc.), insects (such as blowflies and maggots), or birds are to no avail, even though the most thorough examination of so-called cattle mutilations concluded there was nothing mysterious that needed explaining (Rommel 1980).

Someone should tell these aliens that the ribs taste better…
Are there really large cults of satanists out there?? I feel like it’s more likely to be aliens. hmm…
I would tend to think the number of satanist cults is really, really low. But i would also think the number of cow-stealing aliens is even lower.
hahaha, I’d like to think so too.
Though I think there are many aliens on Earth, I also think most of them have better things to do that torment cattle o.o
I agree!!!
My own theory: Since the time of the very first atomic weaponry tests, the fallout was gathered by ambient atmospheric air currents, and traveled, then settled, upon areas that include meadows and graze fields. Cows innocently and naturally chew the grasses. Milk is then contaminated with toxins and radioactive fallout consumed by the cow. People did in fact start coming down with cancers, especially children. The government has always put out statements in substance to the effect that there is limited contamination or an absence of contamination but, numerous publications on atomic testing at times indicates possible, not definitive, contamination of one hundred years, to one hundred fifty years, or more. Mutilations of bovine, often is limited to soft tissue of dental gums and other oral tissue. Cows chew a cud. The best source of collection of tissue cells to study, would be oral.
Since all of the UFO nonsense, it may be possible that to cover ones tracks and throw people off the trail, would be to include other mutilating wounds not related to the harvesting of oral tissue or, if visceral organs are removed, quite possibly, those organs too, may be studied for contamination. Ground water may also be contaminated. Anything grown in contaminated soil may also be contaminated.
This is all my own personal theory. What say you, Illuminutti?
I’m a big fan of Occam’s razor.
Destroying an entire cow to obtain testable oral material greatly increases the risk of getting caught and unraveling this entire theory. An oral sample could be collected quietly by the government via a swab, under the guise of a routine FDA regulation.
If Joe Public did suspect some kind of contamination, atomic or otherwise, Joe Farmer could validate/invalidate the theory by simply testing his cow.
The complicated nature of this theory greatly increases the risk of exposure. Not only does it risk exposing WHO is mutilating the cows, but it risks WHY. Two differing scenarios:
• 1 – The government uncovers bovine contamination during “routine testing” using the FDA regulation scenario.
• 2 – A government employee is caught standing over a mutilated cow in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere.
In the first example, the government releases a statement saying, “A routine test of cows in Farmland, USA has uncovered an amount of XYZ exceeding government recommended levels. The FDA is initiating an investigation to discover the cause.” Nobody is any the wiser. As far as Joe Public knows, this is a new and unexpected discovery, cause unknown.
In the second example, the clandestine nature of the situation raises all kinds of red flags. This person is up to no good, hence the sneaking around in the middle of the night killing cows. The planned nature of the crime hints strongly at foreknowledge – the expected reward outweighs the risk of getting caught and punished. But how would they know what to expect? Did a second person inform them on what to expect? Is there a third person (or more) involved? Who ESLE knew of this activity?
In the first example the government can safely claim they didn’t have any idea there could be contamination until a routine test exposed the possibility. Headline today, gone tomorrow.
In the second example a whole can of worms – no, a whole CASE (of cans) of worms – is opened. Given the clandestine nature of the collection process, the government couldn’t make a claim of a new and unexpected discovery – the nature of the collection process itself screams of an attempt to coverup foreknowledge of something bad.
Anyhow, back to Occam’s razor, i think the mutilations have a far greater likelihood of being done by natural predators in the wild.
I do not know of any predator whose attack wound characteristics are not known. Good point about FDA cover for inspections but only if the players are, government employees of some sort, and acting with consent, either direct or indirect. It could be by contractors or sub-contractors? I don’t know of anyone having resources enough to sneak around other than what is a suspicion. Predators only eating oral tissue of a kill? That’s kind of a stretch. To my knowledge there is also lack of physical evidence of predators within proximity of the corpse. Physical struggles leave vast amounts of trace evidence at crime scenes, even bovine crime scenes.
I don’t think the characteristics of the wounds found on the cattle are unknown. It’s the believers in the black helicopters or aliens theories who are the ones claiming these wounds are inexplicable by any earthly or natural predatory means. I’m not saying you’re a black helicopter or alien theorist, i’m just saying the wounds are being questioned only by a certain group of believers. Those who know predators and how they scavenge don’t see any mystery in the wounds.
Some predators are known to eat only the softer tissue, as the above article states, “… insects and animals often devour the vulnerable mucous membranes and the softer parts of dead animals such as the genitalia, instead of trying to burrow through the cowhide.” Makes sense to me.
The claim of no predatory evidence seems to be unique to believers of the helicopters and aliens. Non-believers see evidence of predatory or natural causes (the dead body bloats and the hide splits in a straight line).
You say a physical struggle would leave vast amounts of trace evidence, yet there are no signs of predators. It seems you’re saying these animals died sans a physical struggle. If the animal died in some way other than a physical struggle (just keeled over), the settling of the blood would prevent any bleeding.
I would need to see a case by case file to come to terms with much of it. When no apparent signs of struggle or defensive wounds present with histamine levels elevated it could mean that: a) Victim had knowledge of who the killer was; b) victim was surprised by killer; c) victim believed the killer posed no threat to them; d) post mortem wounding. In my opinion, cows basically trust Man. The four legged predators are accounted for by previous wound evidence and previous trace evidence at the crime scenes of bovine attacks, leaving only one predator unaccounted for, and the investigation’s target becomes: Man. The killer(s) are Human.
Wounds, again I would need to see them on a case by case level because my suspicions are that possibly they are post mortem, and conceal something further, as placement on the bovine cadaver may reveal visceral tissue sample removal, such as liver, where blood filters impurities, or what other organs are below the physical wounds. Criminal forensic pathology of a State level would be required.
Who knows, maybe it could involve some cosmetic research where they cannot research matters along other channels. I doubt if it involves anyone developing something crazy like dentures for cows, though the crime (and it is an economic crime as loss of money to cattle owner), could be veiled under a “grant” to study “bovine dental erosion”/”bovine dental prosthetics”/etc., so keep that on the back burner should anyone ever be caught and starts chirping that line.
The common thread running through these reports are: a) All occur in higher atomic fallout areas; b) Wound similarity of, (1) location of wound, (2) type of wound, (3) toolmarks of wound.
People laugh, but it is an economic crime. The farmer/cattle owner has a financial stake in the animal. Loss of the animal under circumstances other than means authorized by owner, represents financial losses of real income, and may very well mean food taken off of the farmer/cattle owner’s family table at dinner time. Not enough has been done to pursue the matter as a criminal investigation due to lack of funding, lack of interest, negligence, stupidity, suspicion of being complicit in the crime with the killers, or other conflicting personal interests.
ET? No. “Black Helicopter”/”fear mongering tales”? Doubt it. A government employee believing that they are above the law? Hmmm…
I would also have to do a case by case analysis. At this point i can only point to references i have read (i don’t have any first-hand experience investigating this phenomenon), so i sort of feel like i can’t really give the kind of in-depth response some of your points deserve. But from what i’ve read, signs of a struggle and evidence of predatory activity is either a hard “yes” or a hard “no”, depending on which side of the belief spectrum you find the opinion. This is one of those issues i sort of wish i had the expertise to do my own investigation to break the tie in opinions.
I just did some searching to see if i could find a google map of mutilations. I couldn’t find any i consider reliable, so i can’t really opine on the locations. Though my first thought was, if what you say is true, i’d have to cross-check and see where most cattle farms reside. The common denominator may be something other than atomic fallout. We may find out that the locations of these mutilations is simply a matter of where the cattle farms are located. [A quick side note: This sort of reminds me of a story. My buddy worked in a computer repair shop. I told him i wanted to buy a new hard drive, so i asked him which brand he recommends. He said he recommends brand "A" because they only get about 5 reports of these drives failing every month, whereas brand "B" gets about 10 reports of failure every month. He recommended brand "A". But i did some research and found brand "B" sold ten times as many drives as brand "A". With the total monthly failure reports put in context of total units sold, it was actually brand "B" with the better repair record. With my new found perspective, I bought brand "B".]
As for the location and type of wounds, i’d have to say the consistency of location and type actually appears to support the natural predator theory. Had the wounds been dissimilar each time it would point away from natural predators. But a (insert name of predator) is likely to tear into its prey in similar fashion each time.
It is absolutely an economic crime, assuming they are being killed and not falling over from disease or some other natural calamity.
I’m not sure why this isn’t pursued with more vigor these days, given the ever lower cost of motion sensing cameras available at the consumer level. I would think it wouldn’t be too costly to set up perimeter cameras that would capture any activity out in an open field. Who knows, maybe somebody has captured such an image and found it to be something less nefarious than a criminal act and that’s why we don’t hear much about it – nothing to see here.
You really do have to wonder why cattle mutilations didn’t start becoming “unknown” until the late 60s. How did farmers explain them prior to the 60s?
I’ll cut the average government employee some slack, but as for the government as a whole? They definitely believe they are above the law. It’s “Do as i say, not as i do” in washington DC.
I am not trying to vilify the common worker employed by the government. I do know that it would be a possibility as at times they will just go off as did the agricultural research people have in the past, so I keep that option open.
As you say, not enough data. Animals could even have been killed at another location and transported. What time frame between discoveries and last contact, alive. Many variable.
You, put some real teeth into a subject (or two) that started out as skepticism in general, and resulted in an in depth and highly intelligent discourse that otherwise would have been swept out with yesterday’s trash. Now, you are seeing and thinking, your way around a basic bovine homicide scene. Not many people have the ability to walk their way through something like this because they only know what Hollywood feeds them, but now, be it bovine or other, you just got a good taste of it and I believe that you, have what it takes to “Earn Your Spurs”, in related matter.
The interest may or may not be of the animal, it may be in what the animal was doing or had in it’s possession, and then we ask, why? Who would profit? Cows have cuds. So another side investigation goes into full swing independent of the actual event. You, are definitely, thinking. Also, your blog has re-lit fires that once burned inside of me so, I guess that you can take the dog out of the fight but, you cannot take the fight out of the dog. Many years of cobwebs were pushed aside and I thank you.
I truly enjoy your blog, it is one of the better ones (upper 10% in Quality).
Brittius, thanks for the kudos. Very much appreciated. Your talk of rekindling an internal fire is exactly what got me motivated to do this blog. For almost 35 years i was very much a believer in all things mystical and magical. One of my first books as an early teen was on Nostradamus. I’ve read “Behold a Pale Horse” (Williams Cooper) and believed every word. I believed in astrology, UFOs and parapsychology. Something over the last 5 years has caused me to step back and reassess my beliefs. I think my transformation from all-believing to all-analyzing is what gives me a slight edge on anybody who has only been on one side of the issues. I know why i believed and i know why i’m now skeptical. I can argue both sides. I’ve had face-to-face discussions with conspiracists and they’re speechless when they realize i know what they know but i don’t believe what they believe. It helps my credibility when i can discuss these theories in some kind of detail. Anyway, you ought to think about starting your own blog. It will give you a place to explore and air out your thoughts. WordPress (this is what i use) is free! Try it. I’m enjoying myself.

I am trying to learn how to use a computer so my kids got me started with the wordpress blog. I am from the Pencil Age, which is also the Mechanical Age. Too often I have to wait for my kids to come over and help me out or, two of my four grandchildren are learning little bits of computers in school. They move the little mouse and pointer, here, there, click, click, double click. Problem solved. Don’t ask me.

“Bovicide. Illuminuti, speaking.”
“Yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Hold on a second.”
Reaching over for the foil covered helmet placing it on your head.
“OK. Again, what was that?”
“Yeah. Hmmm. Yeah. Right. OK. We’ll get right on it.”
Sorry i didn’t get back to you sooner, i’ve been down the crapper. Today i spent 4 hours in my attic modifying some shelves. The legs were causing the subfloor to bow downward. I was concerned they might tip. I had to modify the legs to straighten the subfloor. What a pain! LOL!
But i’m back, at least for a while.
Anyway, if you can ever get up and running on wordpress i think you would do well. I enjoy it a lot. THAT’S another thing that has tied up my time … updating this blog. I added two more stories tonight. I try to add AT LEAST one story a day, but searching for a story or two can take hours of work – sometimes 4+ hours a night.
