Cattle mutilations baffle Colorado ranchers

Reporting from Denver - Manuel A. Sanchez has ruled out every logical explanation for the fate that has befallen the calves on his ranch in southern Colorado.

Over the past month, he's found four calves dead in a way that he cannot reconcile with anything in his 50 years of raising cattle: eyes and ears missing, tongues and genitals excised in what appeared to be a series of fine cuts.

I have never seen any of these cuts up close, but I have seen rats cut what looks like laser precise lines in flesh when there is something that is attracting them to it.

Sometimes like a hormone or it is just the part they like.

The tongue they liked and any of the soft spots.

Like, they didn’t go for the ears because they were hard.

They go for the soft juicy flesh.

I’ve seen a lot of cattle carcasses that have been worked over by scavengers. Don’t really know that I ever lost any due to predators. Coyotes and vultures usually post-death. The type of cuts he’s describing don’t sound at all like scavengers. They’re always very messy, a lot of ripping and tearing.

I have no idea what it could be

Any Chinese restaurants open in the neighborhood recently?

ok, ok, i know this one's old hat. but it's still pretty funny.

If the reports are accurate, then I couldn't imagine what it could be, either. UFo's? Chupacabras probably would be as neat about it as a two-yr-old in a highchair, with his oatmeal.

i used to have a bumper sticker that read

Live like a Coyote

fwiw

Bush’s fault.

It’s the Chupacabras...

Actually I have a Chupacabra. Display it in my traveling museum. Got it after a rancher hit it with his pick up trcuk out in Bandera County. TX back in the summer of 2005. Pretty ugly critters...

The stories of strangely mutilated cattle are developed and disseminated during each severe economic recession. ...more publications about UFOs during such times, too.

When certain individuals with more power than they should have become afraid, they smother certain truths with lots of lies (wilder conspiracy stories). That tactic tends to have the effect of making those truths untouchable. Well, it has in the past.

Become more self-sufficient, and don’t buy anything that you don’t need. Show disgust and contempt toward corrupt politics. Become anti-political in general, until you see some honest, pro-American candidates with voting records in favor of pro-American trade.

Traveling museum? Ok, I guess it's tough nowadays to set up Burma Shave-like, "wampum trading post" signs.

Aah, for the good 'ole days...

Maybe they are under a new health care program.

[familyop]

Wolves excise the the genitals and eat the other soft parts of cattle, BTW. The parts of stories about surgical cuts and the like are probably embellishments for the distraction propaganda used during depressions.

making those truths untouchable

Why hide truths - what is their gain?

[BlueDragon]

...and remember to keep your powder dry.

oh, wait, that's what you said, just not in so many words.

Beared repeating! ;^)

More seriously, the distraction thesis may sound far-fetched, but upon reflection has some plausibility.

Would like to follow the newswriter around for a bit, just to see if I could figure out what she's made of. Or if she exists at all. The article did come through AP after all.

[presently no screen name]

She has another article in April about spring water in CO.

[BlueDragon]

I’ve never seen a rat chew a ‘razor straight line’. What chu’ smokin’ Willis?

It's one of many methods that they hope will serve to prevent much attention to the details of their collaboration in globalism. Handing our manufacturing base to antagonistic, foreign, communist nations is very bad for our national security.

...kinda sad and pathetic, really.

You’re quick.

"More seriously, the distraction thesis may sound far-fetched, but upon reflection has some plausibility."

I should probably have written terms other than the word, distraction. The effort is actually to cause readers and listeners to reject information about how our business, political and academic leaders have betrayed their own Nation.

Carried further, though, embellishments to stories about efforts like those of, say, the Club of Rome, for example, can amount to floods of information that seem like a sort of white noise to listeners and readers. ...or saturations of publications with headlines shouting about celebrities and politicians. ...also the use of neo-Nazi, UFO and chem-trail nut groups to further the rejections of information about real efforts.
