Talk:Cattle mutilation/Alternative explanations

Another explanation
I remember reading somewhere about electrical discharges similar to lightning but over a wider area. (A similar total charge moves, but instead of forming a narrow lightning bolt, it covers a radius of a few feet.) Could these discharges ("plasma streamers"???) account for some of these incidents?--64.232.164.53 00:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Misc. comments
while in the US this may be attributed to aliens and other rather exotic concepts, in europe it is generally accepted that cattle mutilations a) exist and b) are perpetrated by human sexual predators. this not only a rumour, it is court proven in many cases (i remember several cases in germany in recent years).

this article is suitable for the national enquirer (yikes) or snopes.com (much better) more than the wikipedia. an ancyclopedia does NOT have to present every available explanation for a given phenomenon, even more so when the explanations are spurious at best (aliens probing cows' behinds? pu-lease....).

not every opinion deserves to be mentioned, guys - there are way too many black helicopter articles on the english wikipedia as it is (see crop circles e.g.).

What if aliens are trying to think of ways to poison our main source of meat - cows? *gasp* lol SCC 03:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Why *stop* there. I've seen a Outer Limits episode in which aliens have poisoned all of earth's food sources to keep humanity contained. Some people believe that aliens are looking for prions that is in all animals causing mad cow and the like. Martial Law 07:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC) :)


 * Why would aliens need to poison us? They came all the way from another world, thousands of years ago, and they don't have any more effective means of killing us? Doesn't sound too feasible to me. - Luca 07:00, 27 April, 2006 UTC

 * Not "thousands of years", they could be so advanced that they could "warp" over here, just like in Star Trek, using methods that we have NOT found yet. Poison would keep Humanity contained, since the food here would be rendered unfit for consumption, say by a virus that would'nt harm the plants and animals, just kill Humanity if a person eats it, just like in that Outer Limits episode.

 * Why cows? Wouldn't pigs be a more viable target. They are the primary meat many countries and are biologically closer to humans than cows. Plus their proximity to one another would make a biological weapon easier to spread from animal to animal.

Weapons Use
During a incident of this nature, in the US and certain other nations, the ranchers and/or farmers will purchase new weapons, ammo, and/or fix and oil their old weapons, "lock and load" and wait for the UFOs and/or aliens, Black Helicopters, etc to appear, then they'll shoot at it, and/or the "skeptic"/idiot who tells them they're "full of it", lying, that sort of thing, especially if they have lost a $500,000 stud horse and/or a bull to whatever is vivisecting the animals. I've seen some incident reports concerning human mutilations as well. One case is that a US Army Sgt. was found mutilated after he was taken into a UFO that was seen over the US ARMY's White Sands Missile Range/Ft. Bliss area. This is one reason that some people give for arming themselves everytime something like this happens in their area. Martial Law 03:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC) :)


 * Why can't people accept the fact that there are people, especially in the U.S. who will shoot at UFOs, and the like ? Martial Law 20:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm in Texas, and it is full of these people. They'll shoot first. I do apologise if I've been offensive, but the truth has to be told. Martial Law 20:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * When farmers, ranchers find mutilated animals, especially the $500,000 stud horse, the $250,000 prize bull mutilated, that is when they go around armed. A LC Wyatt of Hope, Arkansas lost cattle to this phenomenon, and UFOs were seen. Martial Law 00:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
