I think animal mutilations are bull. Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, I think these "mutilations" are just another facet of woowoo sensationalism, often tied into the UFO mythos. I'm not saying that animals aren't found missing body parts but I don't think it's a result of alien or government dissection. My opinion is that most can be explained by predators although pranks or cults certainly are possible explanations. One of the things most of these stories describe is the lack of blood around the incision(s) which overlooks the fact that, when discovered, most of these animals had been dead for some time and hearts tend to stop pumping blood at death.
