In rather remote areas of the country, farmers and ranchers are being plagued by something they do not understand. Cows and horses are being found in the morning, dead and mutilated. People are terrified, properly so. The animals which survive this attack are reported to be traumatized. Even dogs are afraid to go outside the house.
The gruesome details are that there ”is no blood”, which is to say that it is clear the animals did not die as a result of wounds, which is to say trauma, as that is the correct scientific phrase. In popular terms, they were not shot, stabbed or killed, at least not by humans. In addition, it is also clear that they were also not killed by predators such as wolves, bears or mountain lions. Careful examinations of the areas surrounding the carcasses has revealed no sign of humans, either foot prints or vehicle tracks. As well, the owner of these animals were able to determine no sign of other predators. Bear in mind that the people who live in such areas tend to be rather accomplished in such matters of investigation. We can believe their reports, as they are accurate.
It is thought that ”someone or something” drained all the blood out of the animals, as there was no blood flow from the wounds. That is utter nonsense, as the animals are mutilated only after they are first killed. Any school child is well aware that the heart quits beating after the animal dies, so that any wounds sustained post mortem, do not bleed.
As a result of this, certain individuals with active imaginations have proposed that these animals were killed and mutilated by ”extra terrestials”, or E.T., to use the standard abbreviation. Such an explanation is entertaining, and may serve to sell books and magazines. In modern times, we can add videos to the list. It also adds to the confusion.
Of course, the police have been notified, as it was at first thought to be an act of vandalism. The only thing they could do was take a report and investigate. They in turn came to the same conclusion, which is that these animals were not killed by people, and very likely not killed by animals. In scientific jargon, this is referred to as ”etiology unknown.”
The only people who could correctly explain the death and mutilation of these animals are the scientists, and they are doing that which they do best. They are remaining silent. They are supremely well aware that such an explanation would almost certainly cost them their careers. The class of people who are currently in charge, the monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, are determined that nothing will change. Any scientist who challenges any of the currently accepted scientific theories, such as the mass extinction of dinosaurs, is subject to immediate dismissal.
The bourgeoisie cannot threaten me with career suicide, as it is a little late. I did that to myself many years ago. I no longer have a career.
With that in mind, I will explain that the animal responsible for this butchery is the pterodactyl, an animal thought to be extinct for many millions of years. It most certainly is not extinct, and in fact is alive and well. It preys upon animals as well as people, and is even more dangerous that I thought.
It does not kill these prey animals by sinking its claws into them, as I first suspected, but by ”gassing” them. It releases a ”cloud of smoke”, to use the popular expression, which is not smoke at all but toxic. In other words, a cloud of poison gas. This immediately kills the prey animal, and then the pterodactyl consumes the parts of the animal which are readily available. The genitals are frequently the first thing the animal devours. This is quickly followed by the eyes, ears, nose and tongue. As well, the large intestine is frequently ripped out of the rectal orifice. As there is a great deal of nourishment contained in this organ, it makes complete sense.
There are those who object that it would make more sense to rip the carcass apart. That is true, but the predators, the pterodactyls, are very light and the hides of such animals are very thick. Given sufficient time, no doubt the pterodactyl could manage this, but time is not on the side of the pterodactyl. The animal is nocturnal, and their every instinct is to return to the safety of the cave before daylight.
This animal is a marvel of evolution. It is perhaps the one and only predator to have evolved the ability to kill their prey with poison gas. This method of killing is safe for the pterodactyl, as the prey animal is killed at a distance, minimizing the danger to the predator.
The only question now is the identity of the gas the animal uses to kill these animals. Possibly the only way to determine this is through an analysis of the blood of the prey animal. Such a sample would have to be drawn shortly after the death of the prey animal and immediately sent to a laboratory. With any luck, the chemists could then determine traces of the poison.
I cannot imagine any other way to determine the poison gas used to kill the animals.
As for the ranchers who are losing their stock to these predators, I can only say that such predation will continue to take place, as long as the animals are kept outside after sundown.
It is my most sincere hope that members of the public will find this article helpful and become inspired to do that which the scientists dare not, which is to become active, to prove the existence of these animals, among others. Perhaps it will help to think of this as being part of the class struggle, that of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, because that is precisely the case.
With that in mind, may I close the article with Marxist salutations:
Workers of the World, Unite!
