I had planned to make a reference to Jack the Anus Ripper, but I dunno…that seemed somehow just wrong.

Apparently, the Kids in the Hall released a documentary about this years ago. A transcript can be found [here](http://www.kithfan.org/work/transcripts/four/analprob.html).

Hey… watch where you point that thing. Now half of my wheat field is bent over.

Hang on, something is wrong with my cow. She is trying to moo, but it is much softer… it is like something is blocking her airway… Oh My God… She’s been MUTED!!!

Except that everything that you describe that you claim that they have seen fits in perfectly with the damage having been done by scavengers. You have yet to explain exactly what evidence it is that makes them exclude scavengers. If they _are_ basing their assessment on what you have described so far, then I have to conclude that these particular ranchers don’t know what the hell they are talking about.

We don’t need to know all there is to know, we merely need to know more than you do. And by that standard, almost everyone who has responded to this thread qualifies. 😉

Carol must be an alien - she comes, mutilates our cows, then doesn’t stick around …

And I have it on good authority that her messages here were encoded in a binary format at some point. :eek:
