We are notifying people in the field of animal mutilation on a recent
interesting case in Utah. The full report is on our web site
at:http://www.accessnv.com/nids/page4.shtml.
Preliminary Investigation of the unexplained death of a cow in N.E.
Utah, October 16, 1998.
ABSTRACT
On October 16, 1998 a three year old registered polled Hereford cow
was found dead by the owner who had seen the animal in good health the
previous day. The animal's left eye and periorbital tissue was removed
as well as part of it's left ear. A full necropsy followed by
toxicological, histological and chemical analysis was done on the
animal. The following noteworthy features were found: [1] Both the
left periorbital tissue and left ear were removed with (a) sharp
instrument(s) as confirmed by two and three veterinary pathologists
respectively; [2] no evidence of high heat or cautery was obtained
from these cuts; [3] no signs of struggle and no tracks were found
near the animal; [4] an unusual, formaldehyde-containing blue gel like
substance was found on the eye, the ear and the anus of the animal;
[5] the animal's heart was shredded, yet it's pericardium was intact;
[6] the animal tested positive on two different pregnancy tests, yet
there was no fetus present at the time of necropsy and no sign of a
recent spontaneous abortion; [7] it is suspected that the animal's
blood contained high levels of potassium chloride; [8] the animal had
extremely low liver copper levels; [9] severe hemorrhaging under the
hide around the neck of the animal was observed; [10] the animal was
normal for routine bacteriology, virology and toxicology scans. The
case continues to be analyzed.
The full report containing 12 figures and graphs can be obtained from
the NIDS web site. We would be interested in any similarities with
this case that other researchers have found. We would also be
interested in comments and suggestions from other people involved in
this area of research. NIDS is a scientific research organization that
is committed to applying scientific methodology to studying this
topic. We are also committed to informing the public regarding our
findings.
Sincerely
NIDS scientific staff
