The Enduring Panic About Cow Mutilations
Aliens, the government, or unspecified shadowy forces—another round of “mutes” incites familiar fears.
In the seventies, mutilated cows began to be reported across the country—a couple of dozen in Minnesota, more than a hundred in Colorado, and others in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and elsewhere. Midway through the decade, newspapers began to repeat the questionably sourced statistic of ten thousand total mutilations. By 1975, the Colorado Associated Press reportedly voted the mutilations the No. 1 story in the state.
Nowadays, reports of cattle mutilation are often linked to speculation about extraterrestrial activity, but, in the seventies, many people believed that sinister government forces were to blame. Farmers and ranchers reported seeing unmarked helicopters hovering over fields near mutilation sites. Some claimed that the aircraft had chased them, or even fired at them. The paranoia had a contagious quality; ranchers formed vigilante groups, tracked helicopter sightings, and stopped out-of-state vehicles to search them for evidence. It seemed possible that the panic could tip into something worse. “Now it appears that ranchers are arming themselves to protect their livestock, as well as their families and themselves,” the Colorado senator Floyd Haskell wrote to the F.B.I., pleading for the agency to open an investigation.
When a mutilation story got big, other people would start making similar reports, and many of them wouldn’t pan out. He didn’t know if they were after attention or money or some strange version of validation. “That’s what I think happened here,” he said. “This person was so intohopingit was a mutilation.”

Animal/Cattle Mutilation In the mid-1970s, reports of scattered animal mutilations in western and mid-western states concerned
Cattle mutilation(also known asbovine excision[1]andunexplained livestock death,[2]oranimal mutilation) is the killing andmutilationofcattleunder unusual, usually bloodless circumstances. This phenomenon has been observed amongwild animalsas well.
While many unconventional explanations have been put forward to explain cattle mutilations, a variety of scientists, veterinary workers, and knowledgeable observers (including farmers and other agricultural workers) have suggested more conventional ideas, most of which revolve around the hypothesis that “mutilated” animals died of natural causes and were subjected to known terrestrial phenomena – including the action of predators, parasites, and scavengers
Worldwide,sheep,horses,goats,pigs,rabbits,cats,dogs,bison,deerandelkhave been reported mutilated with similar bloodless excisions; often an ear, eyeball, jaw flesh, tongue, lymph nodes, genitals and rectum are removed.
Since the first reports of animal mutilations, various explanations have been offered, ranging from naturaldecompositionand normalpredationtocultsand secretive governmental and military agencies, to a range of speculations, includingcryptidpredators (like thechupacabra) andextraterrestrials. Mutilations have been the subject of two independent federal investigations in theUnited States.en.m.wikipedia.org/…
