The fact thatallegations have beenmade of the loss of livestockin Zl states under similar circumstances strongly suggests the very _real possibility that the crossing of state lines is involved and, thisalone, I feel, should justify the participation of the FBI in this case.
Iurge you to begin your investigation as soon as possible, and tocontact my office to discuss in more detail the incidents Ihave describeHe stand ready to give you all possible assistance.

and with the tip of its nose, itstongue. left ear, udder and vagina allremoved with a knife. And on andon, from Texas to Colorado to Mon-tana. Behind them the mutilators al-a-ays leavecounty sheriffs and.!!et-erinarians saying they have neverseen anything like it before, and localauthorities on black ritual discours-
ing on the importance of alwaysusing fresh warm blood, if drinkingthe stuff is called for.
A survey of newsclips and otherliterature on cattle mutilation seems
to indicate that the whole business
started with the mysterious death ofSnippy. Snippy wm shorse whosemutilated body was found on aranchnear --Alamosa, Colorado, eight yearsago. Snippy s throat had been cut andesh from the head and neck re-
moved. Also removed were Snippy sbrain and stomach. Snippy s ownerwas convinced that his horse had
been "zapped by a flying saucer."Snippy s bones may still be viewed inthe museum at Adams State College
in Alamusa.
U.F.0.'s arestill being blamed forthe cattle mutilations. Some students
of the craze simply see no otherex-
planation. Carl Whiteside, of theColorado Bureau of Investigation,evidently felt itnecessary to contestthis hypothesis, since he told me seri-ously, We do not feel these peoplehave any magical quality that putsthem in the realm of the supernaturalor some alien planet civilization.
The occupants of U.F.O.'shave not
so far appeared to refute slanderousallegations abouttheir attitudetoward terrestrial livestock. Peopleassociated with occult groups, on theother hand, have been vehementlytrying to distance themselves fromthe unknown slicers. Backat the
start of the year, after twenty-threemutilations in Texas, aself-professedwitch in Dallas told a localreportershe thought they were the work ofa satanist group from Fort Worth."
These Texas cattle had been drained
of their blood, which the witchthought was consonant with satanic
addiction to blood. They give.witch-craft abad name, she added.
A writer in Gnostico. was even
more alarmed. "Despite the obviousiiloglcality of it, said Isaac Bone-wits, aformer member of the Church
of Satan, "the favorite theory right,now among state and federal investi-gators is that occultists of some sortare involved. This of course is sheer
scapegoating, since only arank ama-teur would believe it possible to getusable psychic energy out ofsuchmutilations, and arank amateurwould not be able to a! levitate so"

without leaving evidence of apump-ing machine, c! make the neat sur-gical incisions that were used to re-move organs and extremities, or d!teleport so as to be able to performtwo such operations on the samenight, hundreds of miles apart."
It wouldbe interesting to knowwhat Bonewits would consider the
talents of aprofessional; but he wasright in thinking thatat one pointfederal and state investigators didthink that occultists were involved.
For a time.indeed, they thought asolution to the great mutilation wavewas at hand.
Early in 1'.!'i4,estudent at KilgoreJunior College in Texas wrote apaper on 'fTheSonsof Satan," whichcontained detailed descriptions ofhow this group would mutilate cattlebetween midnight and sunrise. Theritual would be completed just assunlight started to lter down on theanimal through the branches of atree. In the absence of trees, theadept: would hold abranch over thebeast and proceed as usual with thissubstitute.! '
The teacherat KilgoreJunior Col- -legewas sufliciently revolted by thetheme's detailstodestroy it forth-with. The student said he had heardthe story from afriend familiar with
the satanlsts. An English professorfrom Pennsylvania told John lllalzeigof the Fort Wort].-. Star-Telegram
that he was familiar with the Sons
of Satan group. had some of its morn-bers in his class, and had seen somegirls who'dcut o 'their ngers andpieces of their ears and things likethat." Their primary thrill, headded, was to eat their own flesh.
All this information was passed onto Don Flickinger, an Alcohol, To-bacco and Firearms agent in Minne-apolis. Early this year Flickinger be-came the main federal investigatorof the mutilation phenomenon, forsomewhat bizarre reasons. Cattle

prisoners infederal institutions sdenly wrote to various authoannouncing that not only didknow the satanic cult practicinmutilations, but that this same

The U.S. attorney in MinneaRobert Renner, put A.T.F. s inger on the case because, ashit to me, "We thought it was the
agency freewheeling enough reado something." The informants tinned to pour out their storiessmall city near the Gulf Coast w

Fliclcinger himself was threateand his door claubed with blood.
Sometime in the summer of
year the federal investigation to an abrupt end. All that apeinthe Justice Department assowith the case would tell mewas,
were looking into alleged threaelected ofticials from the same
of people involved in cattle mutions and we were unable to cowith anything atall. This wasparticularly illuminating, but

liialceig at the Fort Worth Stor-ToIe-gro-in hadalso beenreceiving lettersfrom two of the informants--comvicted armed robbers in the Marionfederal prison and was able to con-cludethat the -federal investigatorshad. become convinced that the in-formants wereputting out alot ofbogus information in an attempt to
get moved to prisons from which itwould beeasier for them to escape.This view was strengthened by thefact that all three informants had in-
deed made escape attempts.Thus ended federal involvement in
the investigation of cattle mutila-tions and thus also ended the last
convincing series oileads anyone hasyet come up with. ', _What are weleft with?-In thehun- -dreds of cases ofcattle mutilations,no one has ever been seen at or nearthe scene of thecrime. Notrace of
the perpetrators -footprints, car
tracks or even evidence of the use ofhelicopters -has ever been detected.Manyranchers believe that heli-copters have been used, partly be-cause alarge number or sightings oi"unidenti ed helicopters have been re-ported, partly because it seemsthisis the only form of transport allow-ing easy access to remote rangeland.Some investigators believe that suchfurtive use of helicopters would ex-

Cynics say that small predatorsare responsible for many of the al-leged mutilations. This may some-times be the case, but Carl White-sirle, the Colorado Bureau of Investi-gation ollicer, told me that out of allthe dead animals sent to the veteri-
nary school at Colorado State Uni-versity six werefresh enough to beamenable to autopsy. One had beenthe victim of apredator, ve hadde nitely beenmutilated by humans.In all cases, he added, the animalshad died ofnatural causes and the
mutilations had occurred post-mor- whicnhe said produced curiousquestions: Are the cattle beingkilledand mutilated bythe same peo-ple, or do the mutilators oome uponthem and do the cutting?"
Out of all the investigations onlyone clue has emerged. In the late
summer aColorado rancher found ablueplastic valise on his land.In itwere a cow'stongue, an ear and nscalpel.
The day I spoke wiih. Whiteside hehad just returned from ameeting ofthreehundred ranchers in Kiowa,Elbert County. Elbert County suf-fered sixty-three cases ofmutilationover the summer. Whitesirle said the
ranchers were literally up in
