According to Florida Today , a Brevard county newspaper, Brevard, Seminole, Lake and St. Lucie counties have all been hit with cattle mutilations since July, 1996. That theory is offered somewhat lamely in order to avoid jeopardizing the investigation, according to the newspaper. Eyewitnesses sometimes report unidentified lights in the night skies near areas where mutilated cattle are later found.
Cattle are hard to handle.
They're big and bulky and they can't be easily transported. Organs which have been extracted through circular holes show little or no evidence of bleeding, indicating surgical procedures may have been performed by a laser-like instrument or some other very sharp scalpel. However, after his retirement from the FBI, Ken Rommel , of Santa Fe, New Mexico, conducted his own investigation of the mysterious cattle deaths. His explanation is that cows die all the time from aging, disease, lightning, or ingesting poisonous plants. Ravenous blowflies are hungry enough to make even tongues disappear, he asserts, and post-mortem expansion of internal gases can literally blow holes through soft bovine bellies.
