Subject: Another San Luis Valley Horse Mutilation


Another SLV  Horse Mutilation

A second horse has been found dead and disfigured south of Alamosa
Colorado.  This makes three, rare winter-month unusual animal deaths
that have been reported in the San Luis Valley since November 30,
1997.  The animal was found nerar the Rio Grande River, 10 miles
south of Alamosa, CO.

The six year-old white gelding, called by its owner, "the head of the
herd" (16 horses)  was discovered yesterday, a mile and a half
from the herd, laying on it's left side and missing the flesh around
the left mandible; its genitalia and right ear.  The ear was
removed in a three-inch diameter circle. The horse also had a
"baseball-sized hole in the brisket," and the rancher suspects that
the animal's heart was removed. The rancher, an avid hunter and
tracker, noted the horses winter coat exhibited "obvious sign" of a
knife-type instrument being used.  Individual hairs appeared cleanly
cut, as if by a scalpal or very sharp knife.

There were no tracks found around the animal--not even the gelding's
own tracks.  It was discovered laying in "fluffy alkali" which shows
tracks very well.  "You could throw a pea out there and see it," the
rancher noted.  Upon discovery by the ranchers 19 year-old son, "50
eagles were flying around like swallows."  The eagles showed great
interest in the carcass and were seen scavenging the horse with
several crows. This huge number of eagles in one area is highly
unusual, I have never heard of this before.

This investigator is headed down to the site to obtain forensic
samples, and will add to this report if needed.
