23 Common Occurrances in Animal Mutilation Cases

After studying the subject seriously since 2012 I've discovered that there are a number of commonalities among animal mutilation cases that are worth noting, and that any serious researcher of the subject should look for.

Animal mutilations came to public light in the 1960's when ranchers began to report to the local police and FBI, and the media picked this up.  This phenomena occurs not only in the United States, but worldwide. Many mutilation files were released by the FBI and are now available to researchers, although these are all older cases, with no new cases released, although there are many. In Missouri alone, I've investigated over 70 reports. One has to wonder why the later cases have not been released yet, unless as some people theorize, there is a cover-up regarding this subject.

The media seemed to grab on to the idea early on that cults were doing the mutilating, although to date there has never been any proof of that. Additionally, some reporters and websites state that most or all of the cases can be explained by natural predators, which is preposterous given the facts. 

Another problem in getting this information out to the public is that most ranchers do not want any publicity and don't want their names or locations used in any manner. Unfortunately, this means that the public will never know exactly where or when these mutilation events occurred.

Following are some of the common traits that are found at mutilation sites:
1. Little or no bodily fluids on site, on the ground or on or in the animal, even when found soon after the mutilation occurred.  Where has the blood gone?  How were the wounds made without any loss of blood?
2. Precise, surgical cuts, or laser-like cuts found, not torn hide or bite marks from predators. (We only look at fresh cuts, not old ones because as the animal bloats the cuts will stretch and make it look very straight)
3. The head of the animal is found facing east in a large number of cases.  (This is just an observation, no explanation has been found.) 
4. Similar organs missing on each of the mutilated animals: usually the udder or parts of the udder, the vaginal area, the tongue, anal area, and cheek which may include the jaw, and sometimes the lips or eyes. No marks are found on the bones, which would normally be found if the cuts had been made by a knife or other instrument.
5. In some cases marks on the legs or body are found as if the animal has been trussed and lifted with a rope or chain.
6. Extremely fast decomposition of the body, faster than if the animal died from natural causes,or in some cases, slow decomposition.
7. A "human-like" rather than a "dead animal" death smell has been reported in some instances.
8. Dead blow flies on the animal and on the ground.  What is killing them?
9. Lack of any sign of predators such as coyotes or vultures eating on the dead carcass as would be expected in a death from natural causes. In some cases animals never eat on the carcass, even though it is known that vultures and coyotes are in the area.
10. In some cases a dark black outline is left on the grass surrounding the animal which appears to be a burn mark of some kind.
11. Lab testing shows a change in the soil in some cases- something makes it non-water soluble, meaning that it has been exposed to very high temperatures. Soil testing outside the area shows no change to the soil.
12. In the rare event that an autopsy is performed internal organs or a fetus may be missing, and in some cases with no cuts on the body.
13. When mutilations occur in one area, they often occur in another, then months may go by with no reports. Oddly, Chuck Zukowski and I have found that many of these events occur ON THE SAME LATITUDE, and I've found these at 39 degrees, 38 degrees, and 37 degrees.
14. Often a circular depression is found on the ground or grass in the immediate vicinity of the animal. Some of the grasses have been lab tested (W.C. Leavengood, biophysicist, did testing and wrote reports on this - he found grasses had been chemically altered -see my article on this subject).
15. Often a depression just under the dead animal, and only in that location, up to 3" deep, indicating that the animal was likely dropped from above.
16. Broken ribs on the animal on the side facing the ground (usually only visible after decomposition or an autopsy is performed.) Again indicating a drop from above.
17. Rarely are any thrashing marks left on the ground around the animal (I know of only one) indicating that the animals were killed somewhere else and deposited in a different location.
18. Farmers and ranchers who report cases to the local authorities are on rare occasions, harassed and threatened. This usually occurs in countries outside the U.S. (I am working on several cases in other countries and will submit articles on these later.)
19. Investigators and ranchers often report low-flying aircraft over the mutilation site such as black helicopters with no markings and military planes.  When this occurs in an area that is not known for such activity such as ranches located near air bases, what is the explanation?  
20. High EMF readings are often detected inside the mutilation area on the ground, but not outside the area.
21. In all cases to date, there are NO TRACKS found from human footprints, ATV's, Trucks, or any type of vehicle near the dead animal.
22. When gates are locked by the rancher, they are not found unlocked and there is no sign of trespass.
23. Witnesses often see UFOs or unexplained balls of lights, or beams of light over their property prior to or during a mutilation.
24. Witnesses and investigators often see U.S. military aircraft, often unmarked, just after a mutilation occurred even though no report had been made to the military. In one of my cases, we heard two aircraft right over our heads, but could see nothing. Does our military have cloaking technology?

Mutilated Deer Found at Cahokia Mound

A utility contractor was walking along the trails at the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois, east of St. Louis, on Thanksgiving day, 2018 when he came across a mutilated deer.  He saw the female deer laying on the ground in a field at the edge of the woods at approximately 11:30 a.m.

Mutilated deer found on November 22, 2018

The witness said that it looked like something from a text book on animal mutilations. He could see no signs of trauma to the body of the animal that would indicate what happened as far as a cause of death. The side facing upwards had no signs of wounds or punctures, and there was no blood found on the animal or on the ground and it did not appear that any predators had eaten on the animal, which is highly unusual. 

He asked "If the animal had been hunted illegally, then why was it not skinned?"  It does not appear the the animal was killed by a hunter, either. 

The portion that is cut out is very precise- there
are no tears or rips that would be expected from
a predator

The area around the jaw that has been cut out is typical of what we see in many animal mutilation cases. Most cases involve cattle, fewer reports are received that involve horses, sheep, dogs, cats, or other animals. It is very unusual to find a deer carcass with this type of mutilation.  

The location is notable, since there have been numerous reports of Unidentified Flying Objects and balls of light in the area in and near the Cahokia Mounds.

The Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is the site of a pre-Columbian Native American city directly across the Mississippi River from modern St. Louis, Missouri. This historic park lies in southern Illinois between East St. Louis and Collinsville.

The witness gave me permission to use his photographs and story for this blog, but he wishes to remain anonymous.

Bull Mutilated in Cascade, Montana June 23, 2016

A Montana rancher sent me an email and photos today regarding the death and mutilation of one of his bulls. The bull was fine on Saturday, but found dead on Monday. 

It is more unusual to find mutilated bulls than cows. The rancher described the typical findings - no blood on site, clean cuts, and commonly found missing parts. 

The following is the witnesses email to me: (with permission)

 

Have had an incident about 15 miles west of Cascade, MT. Don't know what else to say. I've never seen anything like it until today. I've looked online for similar occurrences and found many. Missing tongue, missing genitalia, right eyeball missing with what appears to be a burn mark below the socket, right ear cut off, anus cored out. We've determined by witnesses that this bull was alive last Saturday, but was seen dead last Monday. Today a friend (the owner) asked another friend and me to come look it over.

There is not much blood, there were no vehicle tracks, no human footprints other than those of the people who've gone to the site subsequent to the death of the animal. Another part that is consistent with other incidents I've been reading about this evening is the fact that we have a great number of coyotes and scavenger type birds out here - yet the carcass hasn't been touched. Very few flies...nearly no insects on the carcass. There is a Minuteman missile silo in plain sight from the position of the bull. I've spent the last hour reading the various reports online about these incidents and there are just too many exactly matching similarities not to send this your way.

Large deer or elk head found on pristine snow in Montana in 2002

This historic animal mutilation report was filed by a witness visiting West Yellowstone, Montana in April 2002. The witness found a mutilated head of a deer or elk while hiking in pristine white snow. No blood was found near the head and it appeared to have precise cuts in several areas that were unlike predator wounds. The hiker was so scared, he took off and left for home quickly before saying goodbye to friends. 

From the MUFON database: 

"...I came upon the head of either a deer or elk in the Gallatin Ntl. Forest in Montana at approx. +44.823916 -111.245975. There is a mountain called

Mt. Hebgen near this area. I had spent a few days in April 2002 volunteering for an animals rights group and we were out in the field all day long - snow still on the ground; sunny days but cold nights. The cabin where we stayed was on the North side of Hebgen Lake Road. During one of my volunteer days, I saw a dead deer along the Madison River - clearly it had perished from the winter cold and had some predator marks on it. Large wolf prints were abundant in the area; howls at night. Elk and deer were spotted and lots of Buffalo. On the morning that I was to leave, I had a horrible urge to hike up into the mountains to the North of the cabin. I just HAD to hike. I got started early in the morning around 7 a.m. as the rest of the volunteers went out toward the Hebgen Lake area for another day of volunteering.

The organization provides boots and snow shoes as well as other winter gear for volunteers in an outside shed. I put on boots but chose not to use snowshoes because I did not think I would be out long and the snow was frozen from the night before enabling one to walk on top of it. It had lightly snowed the previous night and there was about 2 to 3 inches of powder snow over the old, hard snow. I marveled at the beauty of the snow on the evergreen trees. My boots crunched against the frozen snow but I was able to easily walk on it though it was a bit slow because of the incline and also because I had to maneuver a bit through the trees. After a while there was almost a path in which I could easily pass between the trees. I was heading North and to my left I could see some rocky outcroppings and as the sun came out, it hit these and made a beautiful site. Birds were chirping. 

For some reason, the fact that there was the light, fresh snow all around me was very much in my mind. I have no idea how long it was before I came around a corner and before me was a clearing of sorts which looked like one could then go toward the left or proceed a bit to the right. But in the middle of this clearing I saw a dark object and as I proceeded closer I realized it was the head of a large deer or small elk. I immediately became spooked because the snow all around it was untouched. The powder-type show was pristine in that clearing and there was the head lying there somewhat facing me as if someone had carefully placed it there. There was no neck. No blood on the snow or on the head anywhere. The clean, pure snow really did spook me - the observation that there was NO snow on the head added to my growing fright. I think it was around this point that I realized that there were no birds chirping. It was extremely silent and I could hear my breath and I was sweating (most likely due to the hike). 

Though I was scared,I actually crept toward the head and stooped down at the right, front side to look closely. The ears were gone. Not torn out but as if sliced off and I recall that I could see a hole into the head where the right ear used to be. The left ear hole was not as visible from where I was. I noted that there was no indication that the animal had had horns. Either a young animal or a female (deer or elk I just don't know). The eyes were missing, too. Cleanly removed in circles so that there were two blank holes. The upper and lower lips were also gone so I could see the teeth. I tried to reason in my head that if a predator did it, it would be torn/jagged and not a smooth cut as this was. I do not know if the tongue was gone because the mouth was closed - just missing its lips. Again, there were no prints of any animals around and the snow was pristine all around this head - it was in a clearing with no trees overhead. Another observation that really spooked me was the fact that the skull had a perfect round hole in the top of it. I have to estimate that it was about the size of a half-dollar. It was cleanly cut - again, I thought to myself if a predator wanted to eat the brain, how in the world could it make a cleanly cut hole like that. I could not really see down into the head but it did appear that the brain was missing. The fur did not look decomposed - in fact, if it were not for these other oddities, the head and the fur looked to be in good condition. Fresh. Not old and decomposing or mis-shapen. 

Again, I compare this with the site of the dead deer on the Madison River which had clearly been roughed up by predators. This was not. The silence was really getting to me. The fact that there were no prints or other disturbances around the head - the fact that it appeared to have been placed or dropped there from above - and the silence really scared me. I remember backing up and thinking over and over in my head "this can't be a mutilation could it?", "this can't be a mutilation could it?". It was not a cow or a horse. It was just a head - not an entire animal. But how could you explain such a sight AND to put the final nail in the coffin, everything around had a light dusting of snow on it EXCEPT for this head - no snow on it. It was on top of the freshly laid snow. It was as if someone was mocking me - I turned to head back to where I had come from. The sun was out now and unbelievably, my feet were now breaking through the snow and it would go up to my knees or thighs as I had to push my way through the snow. Slow going because of this. 

By the time I got back to the cabin, it was around 11:30 a.m. and I was exhausted. I took off my boots and left them in the outside shed where all of the other supplies were kept. I did not go in to say goodbye to anyone. I just felt like I had to get out of there. I felt embarrassed that I had gone hiking alone without telling anyone (everyone knows you do not go hiking alone or not tell anyone where you are going) - and I also thought that it was stupid of me to not have used snowshoes. There was just something strange about how I felt and acted when I returned to the cabin. My bags were already in my car and I was just concerned about getting back to Ogden, Utah in a decent amount of time (where my mom lived). I felt it was important to share this on MUFON - I have been a MUFON FI in So. CA for a couple of years now, and have never had the time to submit this. I am hoping that this information will be helpful as more information is gathered on mutilations. I have had strange experiences my entire life, but on that particular morning, I - truthfully - would have more expected to run into a Sasquatch than a mutilated head which was the farthest thing from my mind that morning when I had that urge to take a hike."

This report is very similar to others, despite the lack of a body, the head had typical mutilation-type wounds and there was no blood anywhere. Seemingly, the head was dropped from above, which would explain the lack of prints in the snow. 

Possible 1897 Mutilation report from Kansas

Animal mutilations are generally believed to be a phenomena which has occurred only in the past 40-50 years, however, more evidence has come to light that indicates otherwise.

Several people told me that their grandparents and great-grandparents have had unexplained animal deaths and mutilations on their ranches and farms in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Arkansas going back to the mid-1900's. The people who told me about these events were usually at conferences I was speaking at or in some cases they sent me an e-mail. Some said the events were even reported in local newspapers at the time, but until recently I had not been successful in obtaining any written accounts of older mutilation events.

While reading Jacques Vallee's book Pasport to Magonia (which I highly recommend) I found this recorded event which likely came from Project Blue Book or Vallee's own files:

"April 19, 1897 Leroy, Kansas: Alexander Hamilton was awakened by a noise among the cattle and went out with his son and his tenant. They saw an elongated cigar-shaped object, about 100m long with a transparent cabin underneath showing narrow reddish bands, hovering 10m above ground. They approached within 50 m of it. It was illuminated and equipped with a searchlight. Inside it were "some of the strangest beings" the witness had seen, who also described as "hideous."  They spoke a language no witness could understand. A cow was dragged away by the object with the help of a strong red cable; it was found butchered in a field the next day."

Found butchered in a field?  This sounds like a mutilation event. Without knowledge of laser technology at the time, the witnesses likely only noticed that the cow was dead and butchered, and may not have noticed any thing such as precise cuts or no blood in the area. Is this an early mutilation account?

Lines of Latitude and Paranormal Hot Spots

Degrees of Latitude and Paranormal Hot Spots

In 2006, after seeing a very strange event occur over the RLDS Temple in Independence, Missouri, I was prompted to investigate building locations in relation to UFO and paranormal sightings. This led to the discovery of several ley lines and key lines of latitude in Missouri and across the United States at 39, 38, and 37 degrees latitude.

The event which occurred was a bright beam of light shining through very low clouds to the top of the antenna on top of the spiral shaped RLDS Temple. Just prior to seeing this beam of light coming from an unknown source above the clouds, a strange cloud covered the entire structure from 20' from the ground up. The cloud them moved up and that is when I saw the beam of light. I received a telepathic communication from someone on a craft above the clouds. This person indicated that messages were being transmitted via light to equipment inside the temple.

Along each of these degrees, and for several miles on either side of the lines, are where an unusually high number of strange sightings and events occur. At 39 degrees latitude we find the RLDS temple, the Liberty Memorial, a major key ley line position that is positioned N-S and E-W (see the book The World Grid), and one of the biggest UFO hot spots in the United States - Kansas City (specifically eastern Jackson County). There are also a high number of paranormal events reported in the area which included sightings of unknown large animals, ghosts, poltergeists, men in black, shadow people, animal mutilations, and orbs of light.

Things get very strange along 38 degrees latitude as well. Several witnesses have reported bigfoot sightings, UFOs, close encounters with aliens and craft, and animal mutilations. The strange occurrences seem to follow a 40-year cycle as many events were reported in the 1970's and are again happening in high numbers. one animal mutilation (The Lynn Mitchell case) was covered on the TV show Hangar One recently.

And at 37 degrees in Missouri we have the Hornet Spook Light which has been reported for 200 years, UFO sightings in high numbers, the Marley Woods area which has been investigated by Ted Phillips for over 20 years and which includes bigfoot encounters, UFOs, strange orbs, and unseen forces that harm people. Ted, who never believed in ghosts until recently has now changed his mind since a police officer was attacked by a ghostly arm.

37 degrees latitude also marks the high UFO sighting area of Piedmont, Missouri, which had over 500 sighting reports in 1973-74 with credible witnesses. The events were covered by Walter Cronkite and investigated by J. Allen Hynek and Dr. Harley Rutledge. Rutledge was able to obtain footage of the strange orbs of light and UFOs in the area. While interviewing several local Piedmont residents I found that the UFO sightings never stopped and they continue to this day. The media either lost interest or were asked to stop covering the events. I am currently investigating Piedmont and a major ongoing case there which includes UFO sightings, alien sightings, a bigfoot, and unexplained strange behavior of family members and neighbors, and a suicide which occurred after an odd visit from a strange man.

In 2012, while discussing the strange animal mutilations in Missouri and Colorado with Chuck Zukowski, I point out the strange events happening along 39, 38 and 37 degrees latitude to Chuck. He then got out his map of animal mutilations in Colorado and sure enough, they coincided with lines of latitude as well, and odly, we noted that the mutilations were occurring in Missouri and Colorado within days of each other. Did this indicate that whoever or whatever was doing the mutilating was following lines of latitude and the World Energy Grid?

I have long suspected that UFOs are using the grid as an energy source and means of traveling around the world while in our atmosphere. This realization occurred while I was remote viewing a past event for another ufologist. During the RV session I saw a ball of energy shoot out from a craft, follow a grid line across the U.S. then cause a plane to crash.

What do degrees of latitude, ley lines, and structures have to do with strange unexplained events? Do certain areas create a more intense energy that form a portal or window to other dimensions? And have buildings been built at key locations in an effort to harness or increase this energy? Is this what UFOs are interested in? Clearly, there are more questions than answers, but one thing is for sure - there is something strange going on in the vicinity of these energy centers.

Animal Mutilations - Blue Planet Project

By Margie Kay

The following is an excerpt from the Blue Planet Project, which is a journal that was allegedly kept by someone involved at a high level of government for 33 years. The book was released to the public in the 1990's but just recently came to my attention. This person published the book so the public would know what is really going on, then he left the country under threat of termination. If true, the following information may explain a lot about the strange animal mutilation phenomenon. The entire book, which covers everything the author knows about extraterrestrial visitation to the Earth can be downloaded at www.unxnews.com.

New Mutliation Reported in Illinois

A mutilated cow was reported by an organic farmer in central Illinois on Monday, February 3, 2014 to investigator Margie Kay by phone.  The rancher heard a strange buzzing noise late Saturday night or early Sunday morning and heard the cows all moving towards the barn, mooing and "having a fit."  However, the farmer did not investigate at the time due to the poor weather conditions.

On Sunday morning the farmer found a pregnant cow lying dead and mutilated.  The animal was giving birth at the time of death. He found no signs of rigor and no blood, and when he pushed on the animal with his boot it felt mushy, which is not normal.  The side of the face, ear, and part of the neck had been removed.  The farmer called the local sheriff who arrived at the scene and while the men were discussing the fact that no blood or tracks were found on the site the cow suddenly began to bleed. The deputy commented that he had never seen anything like it. A veterinarian examined the cow and stated that he thought the cow probably died giving birth to a breech calf, then coyotes or other animals ate on the cow.

As of February 4, no animals have eaten on the cow.  Under normal circumstances scavengers would have already eaten on the cow.

A triangular imprint measuring approximately 12" x 12" x 8" was found nearby.

Due to inclement weather the investigators have not yet been able to get to the scene. The rancher was advised by investigators Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer how to obtain soil samples and samples from the animal.  A friend of the rancher had already obtained a piece of hide with two slits in it and stored it in the freezer.  Margie and Chuck advised the farmer to be on the lookout for another mutilation event because these sometimes occur in twos or threes.

On Tuesday morning Margie Kay called the farmer, who reported that a black hawk helicopter flew low and directly over the location where the cow was found, and that this has never occurred before to his knowledge.

The ANIMUTE team is investigating.
_________________________________
Update: as of today, February 5, 2014, the farmer called to report that he found coyote tracks up to 15' from the animal, but no closer and that no birds or coyotes have eaten on the animal. Under normal circumstances, the coyotes would have done so by now. 


The farmer also stated that a fellow rancher who lives nearby found a mutilated calf on his property in November of 2013 and that his dog has recently gone missing.  More information will be posted on this soon. 

Note: The photos are too graphic to post. 
----------------------------------------------------
Update 3/7/2013: Investigators Debbie Ziegelmeyer and Joe Palermo visited the site and observed that the triangular imprint remains in the ground.  The cow is still on site and decomposing, but no scavengers have touched it.

Wild Time Radio Interview: Animal Mutilations

Radio Interview with host Thomas Janek on Wild Time Radio about Animal Mutilation Investigations12/05/2013: http://www.wildtimeonline.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/baffling-bizarre-and-outright.html

A closer look at animal mutilations - in conversation with Margie Kay

Baffling, bizarre and outright creepy cases of animal mutilations, mainly concerning farm animals, have been reported for at least half a century yet these cases are often times being ignored and/or ridiculed because they are being linked to UFO sightings and unexplained events.

Animals are often found dead with shattered bones (as if they were dropped from above) and with organs and sometimes bodyparts missing that apparently were removed surgically and not, as often stated by the press or officials, through roaming predators. Strangely, very little or sometimes no blood at all is found on the ground near the animal.

Science, as of yet, is at a loss to fully explain what is happeningand there seem to be more questions than answers.

Luckily, there are investigators out there that take this topic seriously and have looked into it in-depth.

WILD TIME’s Thomas Janak talked to Margie Kay, publisher of Un-X News Magazine, forensic investigator and Assistant State Director of Missouri MUFON about her two-year investigation into this phenomenon. 

Horse Mutilation in Argentina July 2013

July of 2013 was busy with animal mutilations - here is yet another report, this time out of Argentina. Location of discovery: Fernandez, Santiago del Estero, Argentina.  An exact date was not given. 

http://beforeitsnews.com/beyond-science/2013/08/shocking-horse-mutilation-in-argentina-2442950.html

Grass anomalies found at cow mutilation sites

William C. Leavengood, a biophysicist who recently passed at age 88 (see my other article recently posted), did research on a number of cow mutilation site grasses, and concluded that similar changes had been made to crops at crop formation and UFO landing sites, indicating a similar energy pattern

Depressed grassy area around the site where a mutilated cow was found in
Henry Co. Missouri in July, 2013 A stgrange burn-line mark was found out
lining where the cow lay.

at these locations. 

In June of 1994 a heifer was found mutilated in Garnett, Kansas.  A flattened pasture grass section surrounded the dead cow, as we are finding in the Missouri mutilation sites.  Other sites in Colorado and Michigan have had the same notable depressed areas.  A section taken from underneath the animal's body and inside the flattened section in the Garnett case was examined by W. C. Levengood, who found cellular changes in the plants.  

Levengood said that as found in crop formations, the evidence suggested exposure to microwave frequencies.  He stated that whatever the energy is it is producing a profound change in the respiration cells of affected plants.  

What type of energy would be at crop formations, UFO landing sites, and animal mutilation sites, that changes grass structure in a similar manner?  Can the same energy be linked to all three phenomena? 

Note:The Henry county grasses are being tested now and we will post the results here. 

22 Strange Commonalities Among Animal Mutilation Cases

After studying the subject for some time now, I've discovered that there are a number of commonalities among animal mutilation cases that are worth noting and that any serious researcher of the subject should look for.

Animal mutilations came to public light in the 1960's when ranchers began to report to the local police and FBI, and the media picked this up.  This phenomena occurs not only in the United States, but worldwide. Many mutilation files were released by the FBI and are now available to researchers, although these are all older cases, with no new cases released.  One has to wonder why the later cases have not been released yet, unless as some people theorize, there is a cover-up regarding this subject.

The media seemed to grab on to the idea early on that cults were doing the mutilating, although to date there has never been any proof of that.  Additionally, some reporters and websites state that most or all of the cases can be explained by natural predators, which is preposterous given the facts.

Following are some of the common traits that are found at mutilation sites:
1. Little or no bodily fluids on site, on the ground or on or in the animal, even when found soon after the mutilation occurred.  Where has the blood gone?  How were the wounds made without any loss of blood?
2. Precise, surgical cuts, or laser-like cuts found, not torn hide or bite marks from predators. (We only look at fresh cuts, not old ones because as the animal bloats the cuts will stretch and make it look very straight)
3. The head of the animal is found facing east in a large number of cases.  (This is just an observation, no explanation has been found.) 
4. Similar organs missing on each of the mutilated animals: usually the udder or parts of the udder, the vaginal area, the tongue, anal area, and cheek which may include the jaw, and sometimes the lips or eyes. No marks are found on the bones, which would normally be found if the cuts had been made by a knife or other instrument.
5. In some cases marks on the legs or body are found as if the animal has been trussed and lifted with a rope or chain.
6.  Extremely fast decomposition of the body, faster than if the animal died from natural causes,or in some cases, slow decomposition.
7.  A "human-like" rather than a "dead animal" death smell has been reported in some instances.
8. Dead blow flies on the animal and on the ground.  What is killing them?
9. Lack of any sign of predators such as coyotes or vultures eating on the dead carcass as would be expected in a death from natural causes. In some cases animals never eat on the carcass, even though it is known that vultures and coyotes are in the area.
10. In some cases a dark black outline is left on the grass surrounding the animal which appears to be a burn mark of some kind.
11. Lab testing shows a change in the soil in some cases- something makes it non-water soluble, meaning that it has been exposed to very high temperatures. Soil testing outside the area shows no change to the soil.
12. In the rare event that an autopsy is performed internal organs or a fetus may be missing.
13. When mutilations occur in one area, they often occur in another, then months may go by with no reports.  Oddly, Chuck Zukowski and I have found that many of these events occur ON THE SAME LATITUDE.
14. Often a circular depression is found on the ground or grass in the immediate vicinity of the animal. Some of the grasses have been lab tested (W.C. Leavengood, biophysicist, did testing and wrote reports on this - he found grasses had been chemically altered -see my next article).
15. Often a depression just under the dead animal, and only in that location, up to 3" deep, indicating that the animal was dropped from above.
16. Broken ribs on the animal on the side facing the ground (usually only visible after decomposition or an autopsy is performed.) Again indicating a drop from above.
17. Rarely are any thrashing marks left on the ground around the animal (I know of only one) indicating that the animals were killed somewhere else and deposited in a different location.
18. Farmers and ranchers who report cases to the local authorities are on rare occasions, harassed and threatened.  This usually occurs in countries outside the U.S.  (I am working on several cases in other countries and will submit articles on these later.)
19. Investigators and ranchers often report low-flying aircraft over the mutilation site such as black helicopters with no markings and military planes.  When this occurs in an area that is not known for such activity such as ranches located near air bases, what is the explanation?  
20. Low EMF readings are often detected inside the mutilation area on the ground, but not outside the area.
21. In all cases to date, there are NO TRACKS found from human footprints, ATV's, Trucks, or any type of vehicle near the dead animal.
22. When gates are locked by the rancher, they are not found unlocked and there is no sign of trespass.

The Animal Mutilation Investigation and Research organization requests that researchers and witnesses to the phenomena report cases to this site in an effort to collect as much data as possible in an effort to solve the mystery.

More 2013 Cattle Mutilations Occurring in Colorado and Missouri!

August 8, 2013 | By Chuck Zukowski

 

Within the past few weeks we’ve had multiple animal mutilations here in Colorado and Missouri and the ranchers involved are upset and concerned for the safety of their animals. The ranches surrounding the area of these unusual animal deaths are also worried about their livestock. Could this also happen to their animals? Multiple alarming questions still remain.
Why are the same ranchers being targeted again and again when there are other ranches nearby that don’t get hit?

Who or what is doing this? And why? For what purpose? Will humans be next, or have Human Mutilations already occurred and their stories have been covered up?

Missouri mutilation:
On July 10th, 2013, I was contacted by Lyn Mitchell from Henry County, Missouri, and was informed she just had a mutilation occurrence on her ranch. This was the second mutilation on her ranch, the first one happening in December 2011. She had located me through her brother who found an article about one of my investigations on the internet from January of 2012. She asked if I could come down and investigate her mutilation case, but unfortunately she didn’t know I live in Colorado while she lives in Missouri. But not to worry… I asked her if I could contact an experienced investigator who lives near her area, and she agreed, so I asked Margie Kay from the Kansas City Missouri location to help out. Margie agreed to investigate the mutilation, so I forwarded Lyn’s information to her.

This heifer calf about 600 pounds died in December of 2011 and besides the unusual incisions shown here, the calf was also missing its tail and anal region.

On July 13th Margie Kay with fellow investigator Larry Jordan, met with the rancher and headed to the location of the mutilation. The animal had already been moved by the rancher, but both investigators were surprised to see a circular depressed area on the ground where the animal was laying. Soil samples were taken for future analysis.

The rancher stated the animal was found on July 10th, and was lying on her left side. The anal area, tongue and udder had been removed. There was evidence of bird damage, but not causing the extreme and precise cuts the rancher saw.

On July 19th, Lyn called Margie and informed her she had found another mutilated animal on her ranch, now that makes three. The rancher had called the Sheriff and veterinarian and they were on their way to the mutilation location as they spoke.

Margie and fellow investigator Larry Jordan arrived at the scene just after the veterinarian had left. The 7 year old cow was found with a cut in the front of the body between the front two legs, and the heart nearly outside of the body. All of the teats had been cut off the udder, and the tongue was cut out. There was damage to one of the eyes, but that could have been attributed to bird scavenging.

The veterinarian said there was no blood on the ground near the animal and the cuts were clean and precise. There was little blood in the chest cavity area which was unexplainable and there were no signs of predator claw or bite marks and no signs of bullet holes causing the death. This animal was estimated at about $2000.

Note: Not only do the ranchers lose what the animal is worth initially, but they also lose any future offspring the animal could have. This could estimate into the thousands of dollars of lost income to the rancher.

Colorado Mutilation:

On July 11th, 2013, I was contacted once again by rancher Miller from Trinidad, Colorado.

( Picture courtesy Sally Miller )

Rancher Miller found this 4 year old Red Angus, laying awkwardly on a side of a sloped hill. The carcass was a couple of days old when Miller found it when his herd count was off by one.

- Animal weight was 1000 pounds plus
- Animal had a calf 2 months before and was still nursing. The calf was found healthy near the herd
- Anal area was cored out
- The hide on the jaw was skinned back
- Broken front and rear legs as if fractured from being dropped
- Right missing ear

Rancher’s personal thoughts:

The animal appeared to have been dropped from the sky near the ledge of a small sloping hill. The body was twisted and limbs broken with no signs of predator take-down damage or blood on the ground. Rancher Miller monitors all the cows with young calves to insure they’re healthy and can properly nurse their young. This particular animal was completely healthy showing no signs of sickness or ailments of any kind. It was unusual to see the calf without its mother, generally they stay close together especially when the calf is nursing.

Note: The average cow this size has 4.4 gallons of blood, if a predator possibly a mountain lion or bear attacked it, there would be signs of blood everywhere. Like all authentic mutilation cases, there is never any signs of blood on the ground or on the hide. There is never any signs of struggling or claw or bite marks, just a dead animal with unusual circumstances.

This lack of evidence mimics what the veterinarian saw in the Missouri case mentioned above.

A very special thanks to rancher Miller for contacting me about this mutilation, the more investigations I do, the more I learn and the more evidence I can acquire to be able to “crack” these cases and find the truth behind them.

Also a very special thank you to Lyn Mitchell from Missouri for contacting me initially about her second mutilation case which enabled me to contact Margie to investigate it.

And a very special ”thumbs up” to Margie Kay and Larry Jordan for “stepping up to the plate” and sacrificing their time to run two separate animal mutilation investigations within a very short time frame. Animal mutilation investigations are not intended for every investigator to do, it needs a special type of person with specially trained skills to properly push the boundaries on animal mute cases. Margie has “stepped up” before on other cases showing extreme professionalism while acquiring the unusual evidence which is needed to further understand these strange phenomenons. I’m lucky to know her and we’re all lucky she’s out there fighting the good fight for all of us.

Ranchers who go the extra mile contacting investigators like me and Margie to run our investigations along with law enforcement on their animal deaths, seem to know it takes more than conventional thinking to figure this out. Law enforcement investigators are only experienced in finding human evidence and some with added schooling, have been trained to look for natural predator evidence. But what about these cases? Law enforcement can only determine if evidence of human or natural predators are involved, but what about the unknown? Well.. that’s where we come in.

Oh, and for those of you who are keeping track or keeping score, the animal in Colorado was located within the 37 degree latitude lay-line and the Missouri case was just outside 37 degree latitude inside the 38. Hmmmm

Opinions About Cattle Mutilations

By Margie Kay

Cattle at a ranch in Rich Hill, Missouri by Margie Kay

ASD MIssouri MUFON
Director, Quest Investigation Group

There are many opinions regarding the reasons cattle and other animals are being mutilated. Here I present some of the more plausable theories. 

1.) In his article "Eleven Government Cover-ups and Probable Reasons" posted in 2002 at  http://www.freewebs.com/donware by Donald M. Ware, nuclear engineer and Eastern Regional Director of MUFON, 1989-1993 states that "Cattle Mutilations.  In addition to vast amounts of blood that are occasionally removed from cattle, the tongue, half the lip, and tissues around the orifices are usually taken.  Cattle blood is close enough to human blood to be used by our military for transfusions when needed.  A doctor familiar with the mutilations told me that tissues around the orifices are high in the amino acids needed for new tissue growth.  Together you can make the large amounts of hybrid fetus formula needed for Homo alterios spacialis while in the artificial wombs.  An investigator friend told me that there is a cattle ranch in Ohio where such products of young cattle are trucked to Area 51 regularly.  Perhaps cattle from various ranges are occasionally used to balance supply and demand.  Dr. Greer told me that the lips and tongue are used to determine the effect of pollution on grasses in various locations.  Reasons:  Knowledge of the hybridization program is highly sensitive and is hidden from people not seeking it for reasons mentioned above.  “Cattle mutilations” are not so scary when you realize they are feeding our babies."

2.) Some abductees have reported seeing rather strange scenes on alien craft that may account for the entire udder missing in some cases.  Several abductees have told me that they saw cow udders being used as makeshift wombs to hold what they suspected were alien/human hybrids fetus'. If only one person had mentioned this I wouldn't have paid much attention, but several people who had no knowledge of each other told me the same thing when relating their experiences.  

3.) I remote-viewed one cow mutilation recently and was able to get a glimpse of approximately 10 minutes of an event.  There was a large craft of some type, a cow was tethered at the ankles and pulled up into the craft, the door closed on the bottom, and two strange alien-looking beings began to work very quickly on the animal, which appeared to be stunned but not deceased.  A cut was made in the hide in the chest area, and a long stainless steel hose with a narrow end was placed over one of the arteries near the heart, which then removed all or most of the blood from the animal.  Why do they need bovine blood?  Do they use it for a food supply or for medical reasons for humans or aliens? 

Whatever the reasons are, it is clear that whoever or whatever is doing this has been doing it for at least 40 years worldwide. There must be a cover-up due to the large amount of occurrences with no explanation coming from anyone.  When a farmer or rancher brings their plight to the media, they often get ridiculed, so don't report any events that occur later.  When a rancher complains to authorities and is persistent, he is often not only ridiculed, but seriously harassed, as in cases of multiple mutilations on large ranches.  What do the governments of the world know about this, and are they the perpetrators, perhaps using an alien cover-up?  Or are aliens really doing this and our governments have no control over it?  

COW MUTILATION IN GASCONADE COUNTY, MO 9-6-13

COW MUTILATION IN GASCONADE COUNTY, MO
Date of event: 9/6/2013
Time: Between 3:00 a.m and 8:00 a.m.
Location: 200-acre ranch in Gasconade County, Missouri
Witnesses: Anonymous - Engineer and rancher, and his father
Weather: 73 degrees, Clear, Wind 5.8mph from the South
Investigator: Margie Kay (margiekay06@yahoo.com) 

Note: All but one photo has been omitted due to their graphic nature.

The witness contacted me on 9/10/2013 after finding our website www.animute.blogspot.com.  He found a 6-year old healthy Black Angus cow who was pregnant- dead on the morning of the 6th at 9:00 a.m.  He had gone to his ranch to check on his cattle as he normally does every day when he noticed that the entire herd was standing in a circle looking at something.  He approached, the herd dispersed, and he saw a cow lying on the ground with her head facing east and her legs pointing North.  The animal was still warm to the touch, the blood had not clotted, and rigor had not set in yet, so he estimated that the animal had been dead only four to six hours.  The witness said that it is not normal to find a cow dead of natural causes with all four legs pointing straight.

The witness then called the Gasconade County Sheriff, who sent a deputy to the location to take a report.  The deputy said that the cow obviously did not die of natural causes but could offer no explanation.

MUTILATION: The rancher took photos of the animal, then checked and found that the tongue had been cut out below the esophagus, which he said would be very difficult to do even for a trained person.  He searched for bullet holes but found none, and then skinned the skull area in order to determine if there was a bullet hole but found none, nor was there a hole in the neck.  Two teats were cut off, and a large section of the head around the jaw was removed with hide, muscle, and tissue gone, including the gums, and very little blood was found on the site.  He could find no scratches or cut marks on the bone.  There was also a cut out section in the vaginal area.  The witness, who has veterinary training and worked in a meat packing plant when he was younger, said that the cuts were made with surgical precision and that there should have been much more blood on the scene. 

There were no signs of a struggle as if the animal thrashed around, however, there is a circular flattened area in the area immediately surrounding the cow. 


NO ANIMALS OR BUZZARDS HAVE EATEN ON THE COW TO DATE (9-11-2013).  The rancher knows there are cougars, coyotes and buzzards on the property but none have touched the mutilated cow, which is not normal.

DEAD LARVAE: The rancher found dead blow fly larvae falling off of the cow.  I told him this indicated possible contamination and to be very careful.  As of the 10th there were no maggots, but on the 11th there were.

CALF: The cow's 300lb. calf, who had been milking, has now suddenly become blind.  There is no indication of pink eye or other health problems.  They may take a blood sample of the calf.

HELICOPTER: On Sunday the 8th, the witness was in his barn while feeding the steers and heard a loud racket outside above the barn.  When he went outside a very low flying helicopter with no visible markings was flying over his property.  He thought it odd that the rotor on the craft was about 10' above the body and it did not look normal.  This is the first time a helicopter has flown low over his property (approx 100' or less). Ft. Leonard Wood is nearby and he often sees aircraft but this was unusual.
On the 10th the rancher noticed a very horrible smell from the gate of the ranch, which is the only entrance to the property and is located 1/2 mile from the location of the mutilated cow.  The smell was more like a dead human than a dead cow.  This has now dissipated.

This is the first time anything like this has happened as far as his ranch is concerned, and the first time his father has seen anything like this.  They have both been ranchers their entire lives. The witness is 65 years of age and his father is in his 80s.  However, the witness stated that a calf was found dead on the property two weeks prior after seeing buzzards flying around, and that he did not examine the animal at the time due to its severe state of decomposition but now wonders if it was also mutilated.

The witness asked his neighbors who live near the ranch if they saw anything unusual but they did not.




This case is still under investigation.
