So has somebody more knowledgeable than the veterinarians who examined the carcasses and determined that the sharp instruments used were most likely something like fox teeth overruled the veterinarians?

but as for Cattle Mutilations I find the whole idea silly. Most of what we see in a typical cattle mutilation is exactly the kind of decomposition usually seen in dead animals. Microorganisms, maggots, natural decay and predation are all it takes to get those results and nothing suggests otherwise.
You know what? I posted almost exactly the same replies on ATS until recently. It is silly. It's also absurd for any number of reasons.
If you read a little more about the various investigations by FBI, police and other investigations, it doesn't lose the absurdity value, but it presents a genuinely interesting mystery.
I don't mean UFOs or aliens, there are carcasses of animals being found with evidence of dissection by sharp instruments. In 30 years, nobody has been caught in the act.
Was it ruled out by the veterinarians?

The FBI have investigated cattle mutilations on the insistence of a senator, the files are available to download on the FBI site. The investigation couldn't identify a single suspect for the incidents. The only time the idea of animal predation was addressed it was swiftly ruled out.
Yes the investigation in "fact or faked" is pretty ruduimentary. They put a few hours in one night into the investigation, and they get out of it what they put into it. Sometimes they can solve a case in that amount of time but sometimes they can't, so it seems bogus. UFO Hunters seemed to put more work into it, consulting with experts in the fields, using a special effects guy to recreate visual effects, etc, who was better than any on the fact or faked team. But I remember one episode of UFO hunters where they analyzed what looked like Venus as a UFO, and they apparently didn't even use a simple website like "heavens above" to see if it was Venus they were analyzing.

I was hoping it was going to be differant that the other shows like it but I was wrong. I use to like watching the plumber/ghost hunters but I have stopped watching it.

Did somebody say that this phenomena has been occuring for thirty years or so ? And it was mentioned by the OP that the same organs are taken ? What the hell are these pesky intergalactic types doing with them ? Why is this experiment going to take so long to finish?
Why are they messing about in the dark at risk of being discovered and not just taking the whole cow ?
Not just me and not just the vet report, what did the FBI conclude?

Fair cop. I was going from memory on the FBI files. You are prepared to accept the vet report on face value and that's also fair enough.
The 1979 FBI investigation concluded, for instance, that the mutilations were “predominately the result of natural predation, but that some contained anomalies that could not be accounted for by conventional wisdom.” “Anomalies” are kind of spooky, but mostly what the feds were talking about falls in line with the opinions of many scientists, veterinarians, and agricultural workers: missing or damaged organs are explained by dehydration, tissue contraction, and the actions of scavenging insects and burrowing parasites; missing eyes are due to bowflies and carrion birds; absence of blood is accounted for by pooling in low points in the body and insect consumption; and the “surgical incisions” are actually tears in the skin and flesh caused by bloating and/or dehydration.
or other causes for the anomalies, but that doesn't dissuade me from the FBI conclusion that the mutilations were “predominately the result of natural predation".
individuals with sociopathic disorders are known to have mutilated animals in much more elaborate ways, sometimes using surgical instruments.

The suggestion was that, be it done by the govt. or by ET's with govt. knowledge, only insured cattle were taken.
