Unexplained Cattle Mutilations Reported Near Grand Canyon
by Brett Tingley October 12, 2018 (mysteriousuniverse.org)
• An Arizona rancher, John Mahan, has discovered a cow and a bull that were mysteriously killed and mutilated on his property near the Grand Canyon. Both animals had organs removed including their reproductive organs, and both were drained of blood. There were no tracks and very little blood found around the animals’ carcasses.
• Arizona Livestock Inspector Royal Reidhead examined the dead animals. “These animals weren’t shot, these animals were mutilated,” Reidhead said. “They were basically killed for their body parts.” Even stranger, the animals’ carcasses weren’t touched by scavenger animals as they lay undiscovered for a week after their brutal mutilation.
• Reidhead believes that poachers are mutilating these animals – draining the cows’ blood, surgically removing a few organs, and leaving the rest to rot in the sun, without leaving a single footprint or drop of blood.
• [Editor’s Note] Poachers. Riiiiiiiight.
“I thought they’d been shot. I didn’t realize what had happened. There were parts missing — they were mutilated.”
Arizona rancher John Mahan discovered a cow and a bull mysteriously killed and mutilated on his property near the Grand Canyon. Both animals had organs removed including their reproductive organs, and both were drained of blood. Curiously, as in similar cases of unexplained cattle mutilations, there were no tracks and very little blood found around the animals’ carcasses. Who could have done this to these cows?
“I just assumed they had been shot. I didn’t realize what had happened to them until the inspector showed me. They didn’t take any edible meat, just the genitals.”
Why is it always the genitals? In most of these cases, the sex organs of the animals are surgically removed, sometimes including the entire anal or vaginal cavity. Who – or what – would go to such lengths while leaving the other choice cuts of meat?
Arizona Livestock Inspector Royal Reidhead examined the dead animals, and says he knew right away that something was amiss when he saw the carcasses. “These animals weren’t shot, these animals were mutilated,” Reidhead told Williams-Grand Canyon News, “They were basically killed for their body parts.” Even stranger, the animals’ carcasses weren’t touched by scavenger animals as they lay undiscovered for a week after their brutal mutilation.
