- On the evening of March 28, 2009, a new mutilation took
place in the city of Victoria, Province of Entre Rios (Argentina) at a
small ranch owned by Mr. Ignacio Oñativia. A yearling calf was found
mutilated, displaying the same incisions we have been seeing since 2002.
The clean cuts can be seen in the photographs, with nothing but small traces
of blood left behind. The details surrounding the case are unique: in conversation
with Mr. Oñativia, he told me that he only kept four (4) animals
at that location, among them a rather troublesome calf who posed a problem
when it came to putting it in a pen. However, last night, when he entered
his ranch, he saw the three animals inside the pen without anyone's prompting.
This drew his attention, and made him think that the missing [calf] must
surely be dead. He said to himself that the same situation always seemed
to happen whenever he brought animals from the island, one of them
died. He set out to find the missing one. Upon finding it, the first thought
that crossed his mind was that it could have died of hoof-and-mouth disease,
but when he approached it, he quickly realized that a mutilation was involved.
He came to find me at the Museo OVNI and took me to the site, so that I
could see for myself.

- This location is only meters away from the entrance roundabout
to Victoria from Gualeguay, 100 meters from the high voltage wires and
1000 meters from El Ceibo Creek, elements that are never missing in cattle
mutilations.
-
- I would like to extend my thanks to the Oñativia
family, especially Mr. Ignacio, who not only came to find me, but also
assisted me in videotaping and photographing the animal, as the dark of
night was complete.
