Why are scavengers, maggots and ants impossible ?
Reports of mutilated cattle first surfaced in the United States in the early 1960s
The first allegedly strange death of livestock comes from near Alamosa, Colorado, in 1967.
en.wikipedia.org...
The material concerning the Animal Mutilation Project contains accounts of animal mutilations which were reported during the late 1970's. The FBI became involved when fifteen mutilations occurred in New Mexico. Various theories concerning the origins of the mutilations were explored by the FBI, including satanic cults, UFOs, pranksters, and natural predators. The investigation failed to identify any individuals responsible for the mutilations.

CHAPTER XXXIII
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
33.2 OPERATIONAL DOMAINS - TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL
Evidence of perhaps an even earlier possible contact was uncovered by Tschi Pen Lao of the University of Peking. He discovered astonishing carvings in granite on a mountain in Hunan Province and on an island in Lake Tungting. These carvings have been evaluated as 47,000 years old, and they show people with large trunks (breathing apparatus?...or "elephant" heads shown on human bodies? Remember, the Egyptians often represented their gods as animal heads on human bodies.)

The geologist Thuinli Lynn told me about a discovery that is unknown to the western world.
During excavations in the “Valley of Stones” in July, 1961, Chi Pen Lao, Professor of Archaeology in the University of Peking, came across an underground cave system. At a depth of 105 feet he found entrances to a labyrinth in the spurs of the Honan mountains, on the south shore of Lake Tung Ting, west of Yoyang. He located passages that undoubtedly led under the lake.
The passage walls were smooth and glazed. The walls of one hall, into which several passages led, were covered with paintings. They represented animals, all fleeing in one direction, driven by men who held “blowpipes” to their lips. Above the fleeing animals, and this is the sensational part of the account as far as I am concerned, flies a shield on which stand men holding weapon-like implements which they are aiming at the animals.
The men on the “flying shield,” says Mr. Chi Pen Lao, wear modern jackets and long trousers. Mr. Lynn thinks that scholars have probably succeeded in establishing the date when the tunnel was built, but news from Red China only emerges sparingly and after long delays. The report of the “flying shield” and the men aiming at the animals from above at once reminded me of a museum piece which had left an indelible impression on my memory. It was the skeleton of a bison (Fig. 44), whose brow had been pierced by a neat shot, and I had seen it in the Museum of Paleontology in Moscow.
The original home of the bison was Russian Asia. The age of my fossil bison was dated to the Neolithic (8000 to 2700 B.C.), when weapons were still made by flaking stones, and the most modern weapon created in that period was the stone axe.
A blow with a stone axe would inevitably have shattered the bison’s skull, but under no circumstances could it have left a bullet hole. A firearm in the Neolithic? In fact, the idea seems so absurd that the experts could dismiss it with a wave of the hand, if it were not for the fact that the Neolithic marksman’s bison trophy is on show in Moscow.

i smell a cover-up here..... but what do you guys make of it.... does anybody have any further details???

Who ever did this took such precision in what they were doing here. Surely they would have taken the same care when getting away and getting rid of their tracks as they left. No mystery there as far as I'm concerned.
So that only leaves two options:
1) Some sick sadistic lunatics doing crazy things.
2) Some government/agency doing crazy research.
The world IS full of weirdos, let's not forget that.

As far as I can see, no one here has put them in a place of technological stupidity.
"We" are assuming they are more advanced, because they have the capability to remove animals the size (and weight) of cattle, from farms and ranches all over the world, without leaving any trace of vehicular tracks, or any sign of a struggle.
They either have hidden medical labs and operating theatres, all over the world, or have the capability to operate from within the vehicles that they use to physically remove the animals.
But it is pretty clear that they MUST be very advanced technologically to be able to pull this off

No - whatever is going on here seems to require that the cattle be living in certain geographical areas. This is why I favour the scientific analysis method. For example, if nuclear weapons had been tested in a certain area 50 years ago, these experiments could trace the impact that this had on an animal living in that area at the time, then its descendents, and its offsprings' descendents, and so on...... giving us more a a scientific insight into what is going on. You couldn't duplicate this in a lab. (This is a crude example, but I'm sure you get the thread of my point).
And to Gordi - you seem to know what you are talking about on the subject - I'd be interested in hearing your favourite theories.
Thanks,
John

Maybe they have a common link that has thus far eluded researchers

I totally agree, that the key to solving this, lies with identifying why these particular body parts are of interest to the perpetrators.
What are they harvesting or looking for?

check this report.... obtained from the fbi via foia......
the FBI has investigated cattle mutilations. A man named Kenneth Rommel, an FBI agent, was chosen to head up a program called "Operationa Animal Mutilation" in 1979.
What did Rommel discover? Of all the cases he investigated, none lacked a natural explanation. The cows died and predators (buzzards, flies, skunks, whatever) came a long and ate some of them. Sometimes, they made a mess doing it. That's all. No spaceships. No alien surgeons. Nothing that doesn't have a reasonable explanation. These sort of investigations happen all the time; never, ever, has an animal carcass been brought before scientists that couldn't be explained in simple, reasonable terms.
Cattle killed without any blood being spilled on the ground? My rustic friends point out that when an animal is dead, the heart does not pump, which makes it hard for blood to be spilled. If blood is spilled, it pools underneath the body, where you can only find it after moving the body. Not something most casual witnesses do.
Some of what is spilled before the moment of death is usually consumed by hungry bugs unless you find the body right away. Those cuts that appear to be from a scalpel, making the incision through which the animal's organs were removed? Believe it or not, the teeth of predators are very sharp, and can sometimes resemble knife cuts. Surprised that the eyes, genitals, and mucous membranes of the animals are removed while the juicy organs are left behind? It is of no use to point out to the UFO enthusiast that cow hides are exceptionally tough, and a variety of predators, such as small mammals, birds, flies, and the like, prefer to eat the vulnerable parts of the animal first rather than trying to work their way through the tough hide. It's not a question of alien involvement. It's a question of predatory animals being lazy and not wanting to do the work to get to the innards.

Tifozi, I never at any time said that aliens that can travel through space need to slice up a cow to see whats inside.
PLEASE stop trying to boost your own point of view by mis-quoting others.
I said we don't know who's responsible or why they're doing it!
and I definitely don't think that "they" need to slice up a cow to see what's inside. Jeeez.
But they must have their own reasons for slicing up cows, or they wouldn't be doing it.
Like many people on the internet have stated in the past: "you're doing it wrong".
You say "they are amazing, they can cut meat like this!".
I say... Why the hell do they need to open up a cow? X-ray, MRI and all that crap does a better job than what they do to this corpses...
...Yeah, its calling them stupid.
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what the exact purpose of the mutilations is? Since you seem to know that X-Ray, MRI etc "does a better job".
Can an X-Ray tell you the precise proportions of mineral absorption in the liver? Can an MRI scan perform a "healthy sperm" count?
THERE IS A REASON why the cattle are being mutilated. We do not know what that reason is yet, but It does NOT necessarily mean that the perpetrators are "stupid".
How about....aliens aren't making this things?
And in you case you didn't notice...the cow died. They don't need precision for that...
...Who is making this only needs 3 things:
1- Something to carry the animal and knowledge to hide the tracks
2- Something that exists since the iron age....A knife.
3- A heat source to cauterize the knife/blade/wtv and make a clean cut.
Saying this is "advanced" voodoo is wrong.
All of the cases that I've seen involved healthy, living animals, which have been removed, killed/mutilated and returned.
Autopsies invariably show that death occurs very suddenly, not of natural causes, and that there are no evident wounds which have bled.
The "precision" is in relation to the surgical skill with which the internal organs are located and removed, often through very small "keyhole" incisions.
The cauterisation has been estimated to have required a temperature of between 300 and 400 degrees F. Not something that you could easily accomplish with an iron-age knife in your hand.
Many animal corpses have been found in locations where there is only one access point (a single gate or track), which leads right past the owners property yet people with trucks etc are never reported.
Elevated levels of radiation have been recorded at many mutilation sites, and as I stated earlier, scavengers which would normally predate on a carcass, avoid these corpses.
It is very easy to put words into other peoples mouths, in an attempt to make them look stupid. It is also easy to choose to ignore the evidence presented, if you think that it doesn't fit in with your own viewpoint.
What is much more challenging, is to actually invest some time and energy, searching out the FACTS. Analysing the evidence, and admitting that something beyond our current understanding may be going on.
If you still think that there is a bunch of guys, with the means to locate several thousand individual "dead" cattle, ALL OVER THE WORLD, who sneak in unseen with their pick-up trucks, and remove the eyes, ears, tongues, lower jaws, teats, anus's, and internal organs of these dead cattle, using heated knives? Then replace the corpses, and manage to hide all traces of their own tracks etc. then good luck to you! You are certainly entitled to your own opinion.
But please do not attempt to put words into the mouths of others, or tell them that they are "doing it wrong" when they have at least studied the subject matter, and are keeping an open mind about the truth behind such matters.
One question... If it is just a bunch of guys with knives.... Why are they doing it?
