This seven-year-old, healthy cow was lying on her right side, next to the pasture fence, several yards from the two-way dirt road.

The carcass may have been moving in a northerly direction when it hit the ground.

Within hours of the discovery, the cow's entrails were ejected.   Photograph © 2006 - Tom Kuka - Pondera County Sheriff's Office.   Not a single drop of blood fluid has been found on scene, and no trace blood was found outside the perimeter of the cuts. The cow's left eyeball did not contain any fluid.   There were no animal tracks, shoe or boot prints, or vehicle tracks in the dirt surrounding the cow. The nearby fence, running parallel to the road, had no signs of tampering. There appears to be a low force impact area, suggesting that the cow was dropped from an unknown height.

The Pondera County mutilation event earmarked a possible return of a cyclic phenomena that has gripped this region of America since the 1950's.  Some sixty-plus years and dozens of mutilations later, the criminals who have engaged in these costly experimentations remain undiscovered and active.

Rumors as to the identity of these nefarious and mysterious high-tech criminals run the gamut:  Some people believe that corporate pharmaceutical black operations groups are conducting tests on animals.  These highly trained quick interaction teams are said to be targeting specific animals, injecting them with undetermined substances, releasing them into the field, then retrieving their bodies after they have been grazing for some time. 

It has also been proposed that these 'corporate demons' are using noise canceling rotor craft or electromagnetic propulsion craft to abduct their animal targets, transport them to 'Other Use' nuclear missile silos where they are mutilated, then returned to the pastures from where they originated. (FACT: A Minuteman Missile Launch Control Flight Center is located within one mile of where this mutilated cow was discovered!)

As far as the media is concerned, news outlets usually try to lead audiences to believe that it's the work of Satanists, pranksters or simply predators.  While this slant completely ignores the scientific data gathered at the classic mutilation crime scenes,  it serves its purpose in providing audiences and subscribers an "opt out" false sense of security. (After all, what they don't know won't hurt them, right?)

Many upstanding community members across northwestern Montana, some of whom have themselves lost livestock to these puzzling criminal activities, are not buying the mainstream media's smirk and chuckle sign-offs to mutilation stories anymore.  They would like to know who or what is targeting their property and terrorizing their ranching and farming communities.

So that leaves local law enforcement on the front lines of this continuing horror show. Armed with crude forensic equipment and cameras, they obtain samples for analysis, and take pictures of the scene. Since their budgetary restraints do not allow for forensic analysis of materials not related to human crimes, the investigation is sometimes turned over to Fish, Game, and Wildlife authorities.

Despite the fact that people who deal with predators their entire lives say there is no possible way that the incisions were made by animals, samples provided to official Wildlife 'experts' are often returned with the official findings of "Death By Predator." When intelligent, down-to-earth, law enforcement officers receive these official conclusions, they realize that their efforts have been stonewalled. While the threat of continuing investigation into cow deaths was not direct, the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Game's absurd and insulting conclusions are perceived as a proverbial "wink-and-nod" to drop investigations. 

With no official avenues left to them, law enforcement officers are then forced to seek forensic analysis of the "mutilated" animals in the private sector.  Unfortunately, lab work, private sector professional consultation, and forensic equipment is too expensive for most rural law enforcement departments and independent researchers.  In the majority of mutilation cases, the evidence gets forwarded to "experts" in mutilation phenomena, who may or may not have access to equipment and research professionals, or it sits gathering dust in some tucked away, cardboard box.

We at the Reptoid Research Center hope to help effect a positive change by generating interest in the phenomena that results in the discovery of who or what is responsible for the destruction of Cow #62 and other animals like her.  We welcome and appreciate all feedback from those who endeavor to further educate themselves and others.
