AFAIK I don’t think they’d need a cow to ingest to grass to see if any radioactive material is being passed along – couldn’t they just wave a geiger counter over the grass itself?
As conspiracy theories go, this one is kind of quaint, I think: radiation is a MYSTERIOUS FORCE rather than something that’s been well understood and applied in medicine and industry for decades now.
Ah, right. Wouldn’t want to waste the expensive bits on common hotdogs. 
What is the going price for a butthole, anyway? $7.48? 
Wait, she got shot down at a UFO site and she comes to the DOPE to argue with people?
You’re doing it backwards Carol.
How’d you get that price? Ask your mom?
Ohhhh… burn!
I asked a Charter Member.
Is this the wrong time to talk about the value of quality leather punching? (the Swiss would not have included the leather punch on the knife if it weren’t uber important.) Also, you can play a game of tic-tac-toe on a real live cow with a good leather punch. ( true, a roofing nail works better but this post is to promote the leather punch)
This is not mutilation. Nor cruelty. (the cattle don’t care, their hides are tough!) It’s an up and coming sport. (it should take off… very soon)
I can’t be the only person here who keeps hearing, deep inside my brain, the strange auditory resemblance between “nistri” and “stream”.
I don’t think we’ll need the goat & the squid for this one.
Pishposh. The more the merrier.
Hah! Me too! But then I always had to do a double-take when I saw you, CairoCarol pop up in a thread as well.
This one however is a strange 'un. Perfectly articulate on the webpage, but seems to be wilfully illiterate here at the SD, as if trying a wee bit too hard to cover her syntactical trail. Mmm. One wonders. Could it be a resurrection of our favourite old nemesis?
Stay tuned folks.
“Predator”… Great movie!
That’s because they mostly post on UFO/Conspiracy Theory websites.
BRB - going to pop more popcorn and grab a more comfy chair. Ooh, and a hotdog! Gotta have concessions for a strange one like this… ::shakes head::
Hello, Carol. Welcome to the Dope.
Oh man I missed out on gold yesterday. I love a good trainwreck. I thought were going to talk about Brahmin.

This has to be the longest newbee thread ever. She’s a bit. . .odd. . .but writes well, and can obviously be trained, as it only took her 66 posts to start putting spaces between sentences. Now if we could just fix that whole apostrophe catastrophe, I might be able to actually finish reading one of her paragraphs without my eyes crossing.
Ok you guys,youve had your fun now can we settle down,I didnt know this wasnt a board for the um,unconventional. I DONT think cattle mutilations are the work of aliens. And why aliens is even mentioned in this thread is your doing,not mine. Btw and FYI John Mack of Harvard,or the late John Mack I should say insisted that the so called abductees be tested for mental illness before accepting them into his program. But this thread is not about Aliens,its about looking at something like Cattle Mutes only looking at them without having made up your minds,btw how the heck you guys made up your mind as you did is a bit of a puzzlement.I already pointed out Predator and the use of the word to cover a whole host of non-existant animals.Oh,you dont think thats right,I am. Just remember this is NORTH america,not africa.List if only in your own mind the types of predators present here in North America and it will get you thinking.Once the light comes on with this subject its nearly blinding.
So, let me get this straight, you didn’t have much interest in the subject until you read one report which made you take interest. And then dozens of Dopers point out the more logical explanation (ever hear of Occam’s razor? If not, it goes thusly: “the simplest explanation is more than likely the logical one.” Holds true for damn near everything) and that doesn’t change your mind because you’d rather stick with the one piece of evidence you have rather than the dozens of more simpler facts we’ve pointed out. Must be pretty convincing. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
In the words of that great philosopher, Philip J. Fry: “insane theories 1, regular theories, a billion!”
I could say the same to you. 
What non-existant animals are you talking about? [I know this isn’t what you mean, but I half-wonder if you think the cattle are being mutilated by unicorns.]
Animals that I can image attacking cattle would include large cats like cougars, and dogs including coyotes and wolves. We also do have some very large birds of prey in North America.
