Something fishy in Montana....

azcentral.com story

quote:"It is not a natural death," said Taliaferro, a cattleman who has been ranching in north central Montana for more than 25 years. "When you see it, I tell you, it makes a believer out of you that something weird is going on."

There's always something fishy going on in Montana. If it ain't cattle mutilations, it's something else.

yes, but why must they always choose to eat the grossest portions? Bovine anus anyone?

I've heard a theory that its government experimentation. The tissues that are taken are the tissues that concentrate toxins making them easier to find. So why is the government so worried, why do these 'mutilations'. Could it have anything to do with nuclear testing ?

Now that the word is out -- that is, now that everybody knows what a "standard" cattle mutilation looks like -- anyone who wants to cover up evidence of indiscrete behavior with said cow need simply remove all the appropriate parts, and no one will ever think to perform a sperm comparison test between that which was found in the cow's colon and that of the farmer's son, Jeb.

Did anyone else see that program? this weird git went around a load of cattle mutilation sites and indentified all the wounds as being dog bites. Strange stuff.

I didn't see the show but, I have seen some people on tv try to blame coyotes. I'm sure coyotes have bad breath, but I don't think their breath is that bad.

True. The article I wound up writing also includes an ongoing rash of similar deaths in Burleson County, Texas.

And, after a little research, I found that although the phenomenon is best known from the American West in the 1970s, a similar wave of mutilation (and yeah, i used that phrase) hit British sheep farms in the winter of 1904-5 and in the 1870s.

Faces and genitals, my friends... faces and genitals.

Its happening in Canada too, in alberta. The same thing, face and genitals mutilated. The thing that I remember giving me the creeps was when I head about another sort of animal muitlation. Somewhere in my area (I can't remember where it was quite a while ago) a hunter found a perfect cirlcle of dead animals of all kinds way out in the middle of the woods. They were layed out with some purpose and had no marks on them. When autopsys were performed , it was found that their brains were missing, and there was no sign of how. Creepy !

A friend of mine (as in a real, honest-to-god friend with whom I have regular social dealings, rather than a fictitious construct used to lend legitimacy to an oft-forwarded urban myth or something of the like ) apparently found a dead deer on the side of the road several months ago, completely unharmed as far as he could tell except for a clean, bloodless hole in the chest through which (apparently) the heart had been removed.

My friend is neither a veterinarian nor a coroner so I am not entirely sure how he ascertained this, per se. Nonetheless...

Neat ! well in a creepy way. I thought the thread was dead .. What area of the world did this happen in ? It seems that every place in the world has similar stories ...

The thread was dead -- until I blessed it with the holy gift of life, that is.

This happened in northern Ontario. Carnarvon, to be precise.

This is off topic, but I gotta know. Hey Snee, where does your name come from? I've heard it before somewhere.

Oh oh I know...(I think) ... Peter Pan right .. Captain Hooks first mate.

I thought that was 'Smee?' I dunno for sure coz I'm a Lewis Carrol man myself. (Stuff all the snidey little-girl jokes surrounding Carrol; J. M. Barrie was a nonce and a half.)

As for the missing deer heart: Mr Snee, is your mate sure the deer just wasn't, say... shot?

Tss, that's Smee, with an M.

I'm not altogether sure where the name Mister Snee came from, to be honest. Some websearches have turned up Snee as an actual surname, but not an altogether common one.

A friend of mine, a while back, used to reply to any spam he received with an extremely cryptic message such as:
"I have a greenhouse, my compliments to the chef. Now, this may sound strange, but please eat some cheese.
-- Mister Snee"

It seems at one point or another I needed a name for a throw-away online account of some form, picked that name and stuck with it. Over time it became one of the two main pseudonyms I use online, and the only one that sounds vaguely believable used in real life (when, for instance, a security guard who pulls me out of a back staircase of a high-security area of the headquarters for General Motors wants to take my "name").

Basically, I stole it. Neener neener!

As for the deer... I'm really not sure he inspected the carcass all that closely. Are most hunters in this area in the habit of removing the hearts of their game for trophies?

Unless, of course, my friend is right off his rocker.

Leave Grant to work the Pixies into a tabloid story.

Grant, you're so fucking cool.

(Totally un-facetious, I might add!)
