An unknown animal is attacking, but not eating, livestock in Kentucky, leaving many of the victims with gnawed or detached ears.
According to WAVE News, the attacks have been ongoing for several weeks in Shelby County, Ky. At least five goats have had to be put to sleep due to their injuries, and a goat named Polka-dot has been left with just one ear.
Kevin Cox, the local farmer who owns Polka-dot, has also had several of his bulls attacked, he told the news organization.
Kentucky officials are investigating, but there's no word yet on the culprit in the attacks. Odd livestock attacks often get blamed on supernatural creatures, especially the mythical beast el chupacabra, which means "goat sucker" in Spanish.

Mystery animal attacking livestock
SHELBY COUNTY, KY (WAVE) - A community of farmers in Shelby County have been terrorized over the past few weeks by a mystery animal.
The creature has been attacking, but not eating, livestock such as goats and calves.
Kevin Cox, a farmer in the area, had already had one animal fall victim to an attack and he said his dogs alerted him of a second, "I heard the goat the dogs going off and I ran out there and I looked and saw the goat laying on the ground."
His goat, Polka-dot, is now missing all of one ear and almost lost both of them.
Cox explained, "I noticed my whole steer bull looking a little different. It was covered in blood. Then my other two bulls come up and they had their ears all chewed up."

I blame it on ACME SILK PURSE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT for stealing the ears! They found the “Sow’s ear” parable to be true.

Stat! WE need the LIVE ACTION team to solve this one. THIS is going to make a good episode!

Would a coyote have the nerve to attack a bull though? I’m thinking that the only predator with the nerve to do this, that wouldn’t just kill and eat the whole animal, is humans.
