8 Cattle Mutilation 8 Cattle Mutilation Cattle Mutilation Cattle Mutilation “A Realistic View” “A Realistic View” 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 blood that does spill out. And it is certainly Besides, if there were earthly strange symbols just how much they like our pointless to describe the experiment done by the explanations, one could not invoke the favored planet's cattle.
