Sheriff's deputies in Houston County, Texas are baffled at the deaths of at least eight cattle found after they were abducted by parties unknown from a carrier truck, Austin American-Statesman reports on yet another incident after decades of livestock being killed by shadowy malefactors.
Six cattle were found still alive along with the intact corpses in the trailer abandoned on the side of a road on Highway 19 South Wednesday, deviating from the usual modus operandi of the space aliens, black helicopters, Satanic cultists, or other phantom rustlers who typically gruesomely mutilate their bovine victims. In fact this was probably just some depravedly indifferent asshole stealing the semi tractor and leaving the trailer on the side of the road with its living cargo still locked inside for God knows how many days, not even bothering to let them out to wander around and eat some grass.
