Unusual Animal Deaths, Part 1: Nevada

September 12, 1999  Battle Mountain, Nevada ­ Recently I received an e-mail from Sergeant Investigator Klaus Altemueller with the Lander County Sheriff's office in Battle Mountain, Nevada. He wrote: "We have been having cow mutilations here for at least the past ten or so years."

I also received photographs of one of those mutilations that occurred on January 12, 1995 from Battle Mountain rancher, Eddyann Filippini. With the photos, she wrote: "It was very wet that day, so it looks like there is blood on the ground. It was the snow and rain on the fresh cuts that pooled where she was laying."
