Forty cattle found with tongues cut out, Matto Grosso

Matto Grosso, Brazil

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

While discussing animal mutilations in her editorial, Hind reports that A J Gevaerd told her forty cattle had been found dead in his home region of Matto Grosso, every one with its tongue cut out. She contrasts this with the mutilations documented by Linda Moulton Howe, in which vital organs are removed so neatly that cells are undamaged, as though a pathologist had been at work, and says nothing of the kind has happened anywhere in Africa to her knowledge, although it is common in the United States, South America, Australia and parts of Britain. She also recounts the rumour of a Truman or Eisenhower deal permitting mutilations and occasional abductions, which she thought senseless, and asks readers to judge after reading Corso and Jacobs.

What Hind made of it

Either someone in the village was running a tongue factory or the UAPs were at work; she knows of no African parallel.
