- The discovery of a dead cow whose tongue, eyes and genitals
were extracted in a livestock region of the Uruguayan interior has raised
concern in the country. Officials have begun an investigation into the
case.
-
- The first case was reported today in the Department (province)
of Durazno, some 300 km from Montevideo ande resembles cases which have
occured in some Argentinean provinces. Indentent (mayor) Carmelo Vidallin
tried to cool down rumors by saying that "we must await the expert's
verdict", referring to the Ministry of Livestock and Agriculture,
which is working at the site.
-
- "It is remarkable that an animal was slain for purposes
other than eating it," said the mayor, adding that "there are
many hypotheses, because matters are always worse in a small town."
No signs of blood or a struggle between the animal and its victim were
found--a situation that adds mystery and feeds speculation among local
residents.
-
- For the time being, the possibility that obscure esoteric
practices could be at work has not been rejected, since they are common
throughout the country. However, the animals sacrificed in these rites
have been chickens and hens.
