My suggestion look at previous cases [of cattle mutilations] and contact the ranches and ask. I have seen many reports where ranchers in the US say it happens so often that they dont always report every case anymore, or that the media doesnt pick their stories up. They seem to be sincerely very worried about it and one doc I ssaw a smaller ranch owner made the claim that it was ruining his cattle business as it was happening on a monthly basis and he couldnt afford the losses.

On a side not have you seen that camera footage from a women who set a camera up facing her large back garden after finding her animals going missing and also being mutilated? Its in night vision and one night the animals pause and then scatter away in a panic, moments later a wide light shines down on the area where they were, you can see the source of the light as it is above the camera field of view. I dont know why this footage impacted me so much, but something about it really freaked me out.
