Background
A mutilated six year old Charolais bull was discovered 10-16-2000 near Derwent Alberta (south of St. Paul). He was facing east and lay on his right side. Excisions included the following: left ear; tongue; rectum, oval shape incision on the stomach (flesh untouched); scrotum with penis out between his hind legs; two teats. Several small willow branches had what appears as blood on them.
The blood-like residue on the branches was submitted for identification. Of specific interest is whether the residue is pure hemoglobin, which has been identified in two other mutilation events.
