I was called out to a farm about 35 miles south of
St Paul, near a town called Derwent. There I was shown a 2-day-old male
lamb that had been mutilated. It was found inside a corral that had a
solid board, 4 foot high fence surrounding it to keep out predators. The
corral also contained another 15 head of sheep and a donkey.
There
was a perfectly round incision found between the hind legs in the udder
area, no teeth marks and no sign that a knife had been used. There were no
burn marks on the skin in that area. See Picture #1. The rectum was cut
out, at the lower part of the rectum incision the tail had a neat V-shape
cut (under part of the tail) that went back about 2 inches. Very odd. See
Picture #2. The intestines were taken out through the rectum and piled a
foot and a half behind the lamb. Seen on Picture #3. Both eyes had been
removed, the lower jaw had been broken and the right side of the skull
appeared smashed.
The
corral had a heavy layer of straw, so that is what I sent Dr Levengood for
analysis. Control samples were taken outside of the enclosure, 100 feet
North and East. Results are still pending.
