An Arborg cattle farmer made a horrific discovery Monday when he found the partially skinned carcass of one of his animals that was missing its tongue and apparently drained of its blood. "The whole thing has turned out to be more sinister than I thought," said Yvonne, a neighbour, who examined the mutilated animal. She asked not to have her last name used to protect her family.
"What sort of weirdos have we got travelling in our neighbourhood?"
Gordon, who would only allow The Sun to print his first name, said he discovered the carcass on his farm Monday afternoon.
"I don't really want to speculate on what happened. I know what I saw," he said, adding he is still shaken up by the find.
Arborg is 100 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
COW MUTILATIONS
The mutilation happened Saturday or Sunday night, Gordon said. No one heard anything.
He's heard of several cow mutilations in the area over the past few years, Gordon said.
He called the RCMP, reporting that the animal had been attacked by a predator. He has since changed his mind about the cause.
"It was definitely a sharp object used," he said.
Arborg RCMP Cpl. Glenn Syme said he has never investigated an instance of cattle mutilation. The RCMP did take a call this week about a cow being attacked by a predator, likely from Gordon.
SKIN PULLED FROM FACE
The animal was found with an incision under its chin. The skin had been pulled from the face, exposing the teeth.
"It's not the gore, we've seen that before, it's the evil behind it," Yvonne said.
The tip of the animal's tongue, cut from its root, was placed in the mouth, she said.
"There's not a drop of blood in that animal. The only way you can drain an animal of blood is (to cut into it) with the heart still pumping," Yvonne said.
The cuts were very precise, as if made by a surgeon, she said.
"You don't know who you're dealing with ... the average wild and woolly neighbourhood brat wouldn't be capable of doing it," she said.
Gordon and Yvonne called Fern Belzil, an Alberta-based investigator of unexplained deaths who has been studying cow mutilations for eight years, for help.
Belzil has studied 100 cases, two-thirds of which remain unexplained.
"I'm not saying it's aliens ... a lot points towards aliens but there is no proof," he said.
Belzil said he has never encountered any evidence pointing to who or what is killing cows.
"It's a real mystery," he said.
I think UNEARTHLY DISCLOSURE is back up there on research etc.
OK, thanks. However, I did get a sense from reading Good's earlier work that he has a tendency towards hyperbole, along lines reminiscent of Chariots of the Gods. LMH seemed to give somewhat more evenhanded treatment of similar material and reports (IMHO).
Personally, I would be cautious of supporting anything Good has to offer unless it's thoroughly vetted by others.

Thanks.
I don't know about the blood chem analysis on that score.
With all the carcasses available, it should prove amenable to something like a mass spectrograph analysis. (Hey, maybe they can call those CSI guys!)
If you hunt p-dog,armadillo,nutria or about any furbearers,and it's legal to sell carcasses in your parts,try to find a dealer that supplies Asian markets.
You might be surprised how much you can make by selling carcasses.I hate to see anything go to waste and we "all" need more guns and ammo. :O).
Muskrats,beaver,coyote,bobcat,nearly any kind of snake;almost any carcass is worth something on the Asian market.Just check your laws closely before selling.
authentic mutilations are USUALLY--what--98% of the time I'd guess--
WHOLESALE AVOIDED BY PREDATORS--at least for weeks to months after the incident. They want nothing to do with them.
And, the carcasses typically take a lot longer to decay.
And, sometimes--I don't know any frequency on this--the land and plants in the immediate circle around where the animal was originally taken up in a beam of light will have abnormalities compared to the surrounding ground and plants.
I forget what the abnormalities are--water content% would be one . . .
Also, in terms of the cuts . . . I'll quote from page p. 252 from Good's book:
"Dr John Altshuler, a haematologist and pathologist, was the first to conduct a post-mortem of a mutilated animal, the horse Lady, on a ranch in Alamosa, Colorado, in 1967. Since then, he has analysed hundreds of tissue samples, some of which he has given me, together with control samples, taken from mutilated animals. His conclusion is that high heat has been used to cut the animals. In effect, the Institute disputes his findings, so I asked him for a comment. He stated as follows:"
"The authors of the NIDS report failed to read and examine the photomicrographs published in Linda Moulton Howe's book, Alien Harvest.'16 In that book, I showed photomicrographs of skin that had pallisading of nuclei and the string-bean effect which only may be caused by high heat. Decomposition of tissue cannot cause or change this microscopic finding. I am enclosing a copy of a photograph from the text of Histologic Diagnosis of Inflammatory Skin Diseases by A. Bernard Ackerman, MD. If one compares the photomicrographs from Howe's book and the text, the findings will be seen to be identical. Please note that the legend in the text [of Ackerman's work] states, 'Blister secondary to electrodessication . . . ' Any physician knows that electrodessication is high heat. The data are irrefutable.'17"

On pp 250 & 251, details are given about some blood analyses. But I don't think these are the best. I'm not sure. Anyway--there seems to be an extremely low copper liver value. So much so that one would have expected the animal to have lost weight etc. Comparisons with the rest of the herd showed no similar defficiences. There were some other differences you can find in the book.
A blue gel has been found on the surfaces where the excisions have taken place, including an eye socket. An analysis of the blue gel found that it could be "characterized as a complex mixture of organic substances of biological origin and an aqueous solution containing formaldehyde. Since there is no biological process that produces formaldehyde and it is not a common environmental contaminant, the source of formaldehyde is unknown . . . '13 . . . it was decided to investigate whether the blue gel was comparable to any known embalming gels currently used in the United States . . . the blue gel-like substance found on the cow in Utah did not conform to any of the blue embalming gels currently in use in morturaries in the United States.
Doesn't sound like a predator at all, to me.
A beam of light is not always visible. Sometimes an animal is just seen rising up toward a ship or toward something hidden in a cloud, though I think the latter is not overly common.
The extra cash could buy you a nice .17 Remington for the little guys.
Me thinks it's the latter, the most cruel.

I've caught everything in my life from men on down but about 6 months back had some folks start trying to talk me into a new kind of huntin'.
They're really trying to convince me to put some time in looking for a bigfoot.
It's kind of hard not to believe some of the stories these guys tell when you're face to face with them.Also,"they" believe enough to have invested "major" bucks in all kinds of fancy equipment to help in their hunt.
I have to admit,they at least got my attention when telling me I'd never have to work another day in my life if I could bring in the goods.
I harvest all kinds of critters but I'm not a "sport" hunter.When huntin',trappin',fishin' and divin' are what you do for a living,what the L would a guy do if he had so much money he had to retire? :O(
