Background/Objective
A cow (#8) was found mutilated on the morning of April 7, 2003. “….knife marks were found near the animal’s teat which was intact but partially removed. No blackening was noted around the animal’s mouth or tongue, but a bite shaped wound was apparent in the roof of the animal’s mouth as well as on the tongue, consistent with, according to the veterinarian, the animal biting down hard. The animal was found dead in eight inches of mud, about 70 feet from the roadway. The owner and local law enforcement noticed both fresh vehicle tracks in the snow as well as three separate sets of footprints in the snow.” Vitreous fluid was removed from the animal’s eye and submitted for GC/MS analysis to determine if any foreign materials are present. Identification of foreign material could indicate whether the animal had been drugged before euthanasia.
