Cattle mutilation

From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Cattle mutilation refers to livestock (usually cows, sometimes horses or other animals) found dead with allegedly unusual trauma - with organs removed and blood drained. Popular suspected culprits include aliens, the US military, and cultists. Black helicopters are often claimed to be involved.

The rationalistic explanation is usually that the animals were partially eaten by scavengers who eat the soft parts first, then the corpses were left in the hot sun for extended periods.

This phenom has become something of a specialty for woo-journalist Linda Moulton Howe. It was the theme of her 1980 video documentary Strange Harvest, and she has followed up with many reports since then. Howe favors the aliensdidit theory.
