Cattle in Texas Found Dead With Tongues Cut Out

This is a bit eerie.

Authorities in Texas have launched an investigation after finding six cattle with their tongues taken out.

The cattle were found on the side of the road and the sheriff’s office in Madison County stated there was an “apparent precision” in the cut that was made to the cattle’s tongue.

Madison County sheriff’s office also noted it was bizarre that no animals or birds such as buzzards did not prey on the dead cattle.

The cattle were found in three Texas counties along the same highway. All had their tongues removed, but there was no blood spilled or sign of struggle. https://t.co/wVnEsTWUxI

Here’s what Fox News reported:

Texas authorities are investigating the deaths of six cattle that were found with their tongues removed, no blood spilled and no signs of struggle.

The cattle were found along a Texas highway in Madison, Brazos, and Robertson County. Ranchers told the Madison County Sheriff’s Office that a six-year-old longhorn-cross cow had been found, lying on her side and mutilated.

A straight, clean cut had been made with “apparent precision” to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side – leaving the mat under the removed hide untouched, the sheriff’s office said. The tongue had also been completely removed with no blood spill.
