Idaho Rancher hit by mutilation of Cattle................
|
|
Malad City, Idaho, Bizarre cattle mutilations--in which the animals repoductive
|
|
organs have been cut away- don`t intimidate rancher Tom Williams, although such
|
|
incidents frighten several of his friends.
|
|
|
|
Williams, who owns a cattle ranch about ten miles south of Malad city, has
|
|
lost two animals to mutilation in the past couple of years. The most recent
|
|
one was killed last month about a mile from his home. He and others suspect
|
|
the animals organs are used in a Satanic cult rituals. Mutilations have been
|
|
occuring in the area for about ten years. There have been news reports in the
|
|
past of such occurrences, though responsibility has never been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Friends ask whether he and his wife are afraid to live "where crazies come down
|
|
to mutilate cattle". About two years ago, one of his cows was killed about
|
|
one-eighth of a mile from his home. A circular incision was made on its
|
|
stomach and the animals heart, entrails, ears and a tail were taken. The next
|
|
year, Williams kept an extra close eye on his livestock and nothing happened.
|
|
This year after he relaxed his guard again, he lost an animal.
|
|
|
|
Reported mutilation incidents share some similarities: The animals didn`t
|
|
struggle, no footprints were ever found around the animals, there was no blood
|
|
around the cuts and the incidents usually happen a couple of weeks after
|
|
halloween.
|
|
|
|
On the same day Williams found a dead four hundred pound Hereford steer, his
|
|
neighbor Rex Daniels lost a 1200 pound registered Hereford cow that would have
|
|
calved in the spring. In the morning, Williams went to feed his calves as he
|
|
always does and spotted a dead one lying on the ground about 200 yards from
|
|
his mother in laws house. At first he thought that it might have bloated, but
|
|
when he saw the precise incisions and missing genitals, he knew the cattle
|
|
mutilators had struck again. Williams contacted law enforcement officials.
|
|
They took samples of meat and hide, and after lab testing, he should know in a
|
|
couple of months what killed the animals. He suspects the calf was shot with
|
|
some type of poison to kill it instantly. A pinhole was found on its right hip.
|
|
|
|
"There were no bullet holes and virtually no marks that you could see". Both
|
|
mutilations must have been done quickly by some experts, he speculated.
|
|
|
|
"Someone understands what they are doing, they`ve done it before".
|
|
|
|
All the cuts were made with such a sharp instrument that hair on the animal was
|
|
literally cut in two, Williams said. I`ve skinned and butchered a lot of cattle
|
|
he said; and "I can`t even cut a hide or leather that perfectly, someone had a
|
|
steady hand".
