In following up with our investigation on cat mutilations, something we saw recently on mystery sites touting unearthly reasons for the mutilations - by unearthly we don’t mean witchcraft but UFO’s. All this seemed to have happened a while back in Denver in 2003 but we think its important enough to discuss the implications of too much hysteria; easily picked up by these mystery-mongering websites which would like to suggest that UFO’s are now picking up cats; having expanded their practice from cattle mutilation, to examine them to see whether they are affected by BSE or other form of CJD disease.

To make our point, we’d like to refer to this post from ‘Walter in Denver’ - his thoughts about the cat mutilations, media frenzy and mass hysteria. Walter in Denver - A Case Study on Media Frenzy and Mass Hysteria.

We cannot sufficiently stress how important it is to ‘keep our head’ on - Walter puts a straight view on the hysteria:

“Note how 45 cats spread over a year became ‘almost every day.’ “

Read the Sydney Morning Herald article (yes, the cut mutilation news reached as far as Sydney, Australia!) on the cat mutilations that happened in Denver in 2003 - “Cat killers cut swathe through suburbs”

It all makes you wonder - why on earth would aliens and UFOs decide to mutilate cats, keep half of their bodies for examination and leave the rest to frighten us? The reasons these sites give for leaving the other half on earth is to inform us (in a not-so-direct manner) that they are ‘looking out for us’. They are trying to tell us - “look, hey you, your cat may have BSE or CJD disease and we’re trying to hint to you that we are doing experiments on them.”
