Animal & Cattle Mutilations<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 FBI Release #3 \u2013 [41 Pages, 15MB] \u2013 This was a continuation of the above requests. In July of 2021, I filed a FOIA request for records not posted to the FBI’s “Vault” website. To my surprise, numerous pages came up.<\/p>\nFor this particular release, to expedite it, I amended the request for records dated 2000-2005, which yielded approximately 40 pages on the estimate. That drastically reduced the processing time. Although the records did get partially released, it was an animal mutilation, but nothing mysterious. However, the FOIA request also revealed that more records should have existed (unknown if they were involving the same case) but those records were both lost — and they had proof some were likely destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Animal & Cattle Mutilations<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 FBI Release #1 \u2013 [131 Pages, 9MB] \u2013 This is a compilation of the original release by the FBI on Animal and Cattle Mutilations.\u00a0\u00a0In the mid-1970s, reports of scattered animal mutilations in western and mid-western states concerned many people. The FBI was asked to investigate, but was unable to do so because of a lack of jurisdiction (except when such mutilations were found on Indian lands). These files consist mainly of press clippings and correspondence concerning the issues between 1974 and 1978.<\/p>\n
