- The discovery of a mutilated cow in a field of the
"Buena
Vista" area is surprising in of itself, but the discovery of waterless
tanks and a lemon tree that lost all of its leaves in a single night, and
cows sudddenly found in another pen have made this event an unexplainable
one.
-
- After the commotion over the mutilated cow had subsided,
El Diario spoke to Gustavo Dimuro, a member of the family who owns the
field and who takes care of the farm along with his brother, and to Jorge
Latorre, a family friend who was present when the animal was
discovered
on Monday.
-
- Dimuro remarked that last Sunday afternoon he was touring
the field and distributing rolls of hay for the cattle to eat, and did
not detect any anomalous activity. Since there was no rain on Monday
morning,
he made the same tour with Latorre and it was then that they found the
dead bovine.
-
- Approaching it, they were able to attest that it had
been mutilated in the same manner as in the cases which have appeared in
the national media. "We found that its entire palate bone was skinned,
its tongue was missing and its anus and genitals had been torn off. It
was a three to four year old cow, pregnant and in excellent health,"
Dimuro remarked, adding that when they found the fetus, it was intact.
When INTA representatives opened the cadaver, the flesh was in perfect
conditions, as though the animal had died only recently.
-
- Unlike other cases that INTA Balcarce had the chance
to analyze, on this occasion the death had occured between Sunday afternoon
and Monday morning, which enabled them to make a more exhaustive study
and ascertain the cause of the bovine's death.
-
- Latorre explained that the place where the dead animal
was found showed no signs of kicking fits before death. "It's
as though someone had placed it there. The grass is short and nothing could
be seen. [...] It is remarkable that the animal was completely
clean.
-
- Although they gave little importance to it at the time,
after the discovery, they remembered that only a few days ago the two water
tanks in the field had been found completely dry. They refilled them and
found that both tanks were still full, showing no signs of leaks anywhere
(both tanks have cement floors). Nothing abnormal was detected afterward,
causing them to joke that the same was occurring in the mutilated cow
cases.
-
- Another notable event occured between last Sunday and
Monday. A lemon tree close to the site where the animal was found was
completely
leafless. This could have been caused by the wind or a powerful frost,
but in both cases they were able to ascertain that the remaining plants
were intact.
-
- The strange events didn't end there, since to everyone's
surprise, there were animals who had changed pasture fields without any
explanation. "In a single pasture field I have 200 animals, and I
found 3 cows in one pasture and 2 in another, where the heifers are kept.
We looked to see if the barbed wire fence had been broken and we found
nothing. We can't explain how this happened."
-
- The strange events in the field remain unexplained and
while logical conclusions are being sought, and even if the famous
[red-muzzled]
mice were involved--something that the men profess not to believe in--the
strange events that parallel the mutilation, such as the missing water,
the dropping of leaves from a single plant and the incredible transfer
of animals from one pasture field to another constitute a mystery.
