All rights reserved. ** RED RIVER, N.M. (AP) _ A cow found dead in a mountain pasture was missing an eye and its tongue and had suffered massive hemorrhaging, investigators say. District Attorney John Paternoster of Taos said investigators are looking into the death of the 4-year-old animal as a cattle mutilation _ one of a number of unexplained animal deaths reported in northern New Mexico in the past 25 years. The animal, which had been dead about a day when it was discovered Sunday, was found in a remote pasture about 10 miles southeast of here in the Moreno Valley. Paternoster said there were no signs of predators, scavengers or a struggle. Samples of the cow's tissue, blood and organs will be analyzed at an Albuquerque laboratory, he said. "No apparent cause of death was immediately visible," Paternoster said. "I'm not certain what I'm looking at (but) we have since the beginning been taking these deaths seriously.'' A team of law enforcement officers went to the pasture, along with Gabe Valdez, an agent with the National Institute for Discovery Science _ a privately funded Las Vegas, Nev.-based organization that investigates suspected paranormal phenomena. Paternoster said he believes it's the first reported suspected cattle mutilation here this year. Debate has gone on for years about the cause of the deaths, with speculation ranging from aliens or satanists to secret government experiments. _AP-WS-05-05-98 1613EDT --- Free and Private email from Supernews(TM) <http://www.supernews.com>
