CATTLE OWNERS ON ALERT AFTER MUTILATIONS

ALBERTVILLE -- Officials in northeast Alabama are urging cattle
|
|
owners to keep a close watch on their herds and to report suspicious
|
|
activity to police.
|
|
The warning comes in the wake of a string of reports of ccattle
|
|
mutilations on Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain during the past
|
|
several months.
|
|
Albertville Police Chief Randy Amos said none of the incidents has
|
|
been solved, and leads are scarce.
|
|
Frank Wood, the Marshall County farm agent, said there have been
|
|
about a dozen mutilation cases in that county since the fall.
|
|
"These have been large animals he said. "They had organs removed and
|
|
the blood drained."
|
|
He said the incidents do not appear to involve killing animals for
|
|
food, since most of the edible parts were left behind.
|
|
Wood said he is advising livestock owners not to confront anyone who
|
|
may be involved in the activity, but rather to call the sheriff or
|
|
local police.
|
|
One of the cattle owners who has suffered a loss has been Albertville
|
|
Chief of Detectives Tommy Cole, who has been a leader of the probe.
|
|
Albertville police say it remains a mystery why cattle are being
|
|
killed and parts removed, but speculation among the public runs from
|
|
UFOs to devil worshippers.
|
|
In adjoining DeKalb County, Sheriff Harold Richards said some of the
|
|
unusual activity taking place there has quieted down. It involved not
|
|
only mutilated cattle, but also reports of UFOs.
|
|
He said the reports of UFOs have subsided in recent days.
|
|
But Marshall County officials said wild animals are not behind the
|
|
killing of cattle there.
|
|
"Coyotes might kill a calf," Wood said "But these have involved large
|
|
animals, 700 to 800 pounds."
