Derwent, Alberta: Mutilated bull discovered with surgical excisions
A Charolais bull approximately six years old was found dead near Derwent, Alberta, displaying characteristic signs of unexplained livestock mutilation. Precise surgical removals included the ear, tongue, and reproductive organs. Investigators collected blood-like residue from nearby vegetation for laboratory analysis to determine hemoglobin content.
Background
On October 16, 2000, ranchers discovered a deceased Charolais bull near Derwent, Alberta, located south of St. Paul. The animal was positioned on its right side, oriented toward the east. The carcass exhibited multiple excisions consistent with mysterious cattle mutilation phenomena documented across North America.
The precise surgical removals included the left ear, tongue, rectum, scrotum with the penis extracted between the hind legs, and two teats. Particularly notable was an oval-shaped incision on the abdominal area where the underlying flesh remained completely untouched, suggesting advanced surgical intervention rather than scavenger activity.
Several small willow branches found at the scene displayed blood-like residue. This material was submitted for scientific identification, with specific interest in determining whether the substance constituted pure hemoglobin. Laboratory analysis sought to establish connections to two previous mutilation cases where similar hemoglobin traces were allegedly identified. The case represents part of the ongoing pattern of anomalous livestock deaths featuring bloodless excisions and absence of tracks or struggle evidence.
