Cattle Mutilation Corner

From Brandi D. Addison's 4-24-23 USA TODAY article entitled "Cows Turning Up Dead with Tongues, Sex Organs Removed. Texas Officials Aren't Sure Why.":

Authorities are baffled by a recent mystery that has occurred among cattle herds along the same Texas highway: Several dead cows, with select body parts missing.

After the unexpected death of a cow in Madison County – near College Station and about 100 miles north of Houston – the local sheriff's office has confirmed that an investigation is underway to determine what's behind a series of similar cow deaths along Texas State Highway OSR.

According to a release from the sheriff's office, the 6-year-old cow was found dead, lying on its side and missing its tongue.

"A straight, clean cut, with apparent precision, had been made to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side, leaving the meat under the removed hide untouched," the news release stated. "The tongue was also completely removed from the body with no blood spill."
