1) WORLDWIDE ANIMAL MUTILATIONS - Recent Cases
Compiled by Linda Moulton Howe

Australia -
     Two steers, each two years old, were found dead and mutilated on
a farm at Mutdapilly in Queensland, Australia.  The report in Queensland
Country Life on July 28, 1994 said both Santa Gertrudis steers had their
tongues removed, jaw flesh stripped and one ear excised. In addition,
one of the steers also had its rectum cored out, a classic pattern in
the animal mutilation phenomenon which has persisted worldwide since
the 1960s.

England -
     In August 1994, at Bodmin Moor near Launceston, England, a new-born
calf was found with a clean, bloodless cut in its throat that had severed
its windpipe, and the upper and lower hide of its nose and lips had been
"almost surgically removed," according to Malcolm Delaida, who reported
the case for the October 14, 1994 issue of Farmers Weekly. The color
photograph included with the story shows a perfectly clean calf lying
on its left side with only the hide-deep excision of tissue from its
jaws.

Germany -
     On October 10, 1994, the German publication BILD headlined a story
 "Horse-ripper: New Victims." For the past two years in Germany, England,
Norway, Sweden and Finand, hundreds of horses have been found alive with
excisions of hide taken from legs, chests, and head.  Many horses have
survived the strange attacks, but in the recent round the animals have
been killed. According to BILD, "During the night, the cruel horse-ripper
sneaked into a pasture, shoved a lance, sharp as a knife, into the hearts
of three mares.  Four other horses were injured." No details were given
about the four surviving horses' wounds.  The pasture is near
Bahrenbostel-Holzh
ausen, a farm community in Diepholz, Germany.

Animal mutilations have often been associated with unidentified lights,
disks and beams in the sky, and with non-human creatures sighted near,
or even carrying, animals that are later found dead and mutilated, or
simply disappear.
