Initial data
The cow was found dead and mutilated on the family farm, which, apparently, was the latest in a series of ritual murders south of the city.
Since September, seven heifers-each worth about $ 600 - have been killed and six have had their genitals removed. Often their blood was drained.
The surgical cleanliness of the wounds and the neat place around the corpses caused speculation that the murders were the work of devil worshippers. Some claim that aliens are working.
"It's easier to imagine that this is a cult of active or stupid druids," a frightened Doris Verhomin said in an interview on Thursday. But some people think it could be UFOs. We are so isolated here, and it has been so peaceful for so many years, and suddenly we have one thing after another. We are so scared and shocked. We can't sleep."
Since April, six female animals have been found dead within a day or two after the full moon - five were mutilated and missing body parts.
RCMP is investigating the bizarre midnight incidents at the Verhomin Meat Farm, about five km southeast of Edmonton International Airport.
Gerald Kazimirovich said on Thursday that he could not comment on the deaths until a veterinarian had examined the most recent remains.
The last carcass was found on Wednesday morning.
The heifer weighing 300 kg was lying on its right side on a grassy hill, with a 30 cm cut on the neck, a nipple neatly cut off and the genitals removed.
The ground, still loose from the recent rain, had no signs of a struggle, no footprints, no blood.
"From 1:30 to 2 o'clock in the morning, we heard a lot of noise," Verhomin explained. "My husband was asleep, and I was too afraid to go outside. I thought about calling RCMP, but they were just trying to downplay the importance."
"It's not a coyote, it's not a pack of crazy dogs, someone did it with a knife." - Farmer Reinhold Trelenberg
Verhomin believes that the cow was still standing when the criminals began to cut its rump.
"These cuts were definitely not made by an animal," Verhomin said. "(The culprits) usually take an ear, an eye and a tail - usually only a bloody stump remains."
She said her husband was so upset that he talked about selling the farm where his family had worked for 40 years.
On Thursday afternoon, taking a break from haymaking, Roman Verhomin shook his head, looking at the injuries.
"Usually coyotes take the back and udder first," he said. "There are thousands of these (incidents) reported (across North America), and the problem is that they never catch these guys. Is it a person or not? I believe that this is a person. But there must be more than one person involved. It's a cult or something ."
In September last year, a heifer was found without blood, without a tail, nipples and genitals on the farm of a neighbor Reinhold Trelenberg.
"Our law enforcement officers are not doing their job," Trelenberg was indignant. "I think it's a cult. There was a full moon last night, and there was always a full moon. They have to be there at night to catch these people. They don't arrive. I don't believe like some others. that it's a UFO.
"And I don't care what anyone says-if the throat is cut, no animal will do it. It's not a coyote, it's not a pack of crazy dogs, someone did it with a knife ... And that's it. there is not a teaspoon of blood anywhere."
The murders on the Verkhomins ' farm began in April, when the family's cash cow was slaughtered.
On April 14, they found his remains behind a barn: his rectum and uterus were missing, and his throat was cut.
Nearby were five large crosses built of two-meter branches.
Two months later, on June 14, a heifer weighing 115 kg was found. His genitals were removed, his body was eviscerated, and his organs were removed.
"The skin was also missing, and jagged cuts were visible," Verhomin said.
On June 21, the summer solstice, another 115-kilogram calf was killed, but its mother apparently chased away the killers before the calf was mutilated, and the mother stood over the remains until the next day.
Potential butchers took another calf. His decomposing remains were discovered three days later, the skin from his head was completely removed.
The calf was also gutted, and its organs were taken away.
On June 28, a heifer weighing 320 kg was found to have missing genitals, an ear, an eye and an udder.
The Verhomins say that the veterinarian who examined the previous remains said that it was impossible to prove that the animals were not killed by predators.
"These dirty little coyotes should kill these two - year-olds," Doris Verhomin said incredulously. "They don't do that - unless they've started eating dinner with a knife and fork."
She said she was unhappy with the police response to the earlier injuries, and was concerned that no one believed her family's fears.
"We were told to be silent earlier," Verhomin said.

A heifer has been found dead and mutilated on a family farm in what is apparently the latest in a string of ritualistic killings south of the city.
Since September, seven heifers - each worth about $600 - have been killed and six have had their sex organs removed.
Often, their blood has been drained.
The surgical neatness of the wounds and the tidy site around the cadavers has sparked speculation that the killings are the work of devil worshippers. Some claim extraterrestrials are at work.
"It's easier to imagine that it's a cult operating or dumb Druids," a frightened Doris Verchomin said in an interview Thursday.
"But some people think it might be UFOs. We are so secluded here and it was so peaceful for so many years, and all of a sudden we have one thing after another. We are so scared and overwhelmed. We can't sleep."
Since April, six female animals have been found dead within a day or two of the full moon - five were mutilated and missing body parts.
RCMP are investigating the bizarre midnight incidents on the Verchomin beef farm, about five km southeast of Edmonton International Airport.
Const. Gerald Kazimirowich said Thursday he couldn't comment on the deaths until a veterinarian had examined the most recent remains.
The latest carcass was found Wednesday morning.
The 300-kg heifer lay on its right side on a grassy knoll, a 30-cm incision in its neck, a teat neatly sliced off and sex organs removed.
The ground, still spongy from the recent rain, bore no signs of struggle, no footprints and no gore.
"We heard a lot of commotion between 1:30 and 2 a.m.," Verchomin explained. "My husband was asleep and I was too afraid to go outside. I thought of calling the RCMP but they have just tried to downplay things."
"It's not a coyote, it's not a pack of crazy dogs, someone's done it with a knife." - Farmer Reinhold Trelenberg
Verchomin believes the cow was still standing when the culprits began cutting at its rump.
"These cuts were definitely not done by an animal," Verchomin said. "(The culprits) usually take an ear, an eye and the tail - just a bloody stump is all that's usually left."
She said her husband was so upset he had talked of selling the farm his family has worked for 40 years.
Taking a break from haying Thursday afternoon, Roman Verchomin shook his head over the mutilations.
"Usually coyotes go for the rear end first and the udder," he said.
"There's thousands of these (incidents) reported (across North America) and the problem is that they never catch these guys. Whether it's human or not? I suppose it is human. But there has to be more than one person involved. It's a cult or something."
Last September, on neighbor Reinhold Trelenberg's farm, a heifer was found drained of blood and missing its tail, teats and sex organs.
"Our law-enforcement people are not doing their job," Trelenberg fumed.
"I think it's a cult. Last night was a full moon and it's always on a full moon. They should be out there at night to catch these people. They don't fly in. I don't believe like some of the others that it's UFOs.
"And I don't care what anyone says - if the throat is cut, there is no animal that will do that. It's not a coyote, it's not a pack of crazy dogs, someone's done it with a knife . . . And there isn't a teaspoon of blood anywhere."
The killings on the Verchomins' farm started in April when the family milk cow was slaughtered.
They found its remains behind a barn on April 14 - its rectum and uterus were missing and its throat was slit.
There were five large crosses constructed of two-metre-long branches lying nearby.
Two months later, on June 14, a 115-kg heifer was found. Its sex organs had been removed, it had been eviscerated and its organs taken.
"The skin was missing, too, and you could see scalloped cutting marks," Verchomin said.
On June 21, the summer solstice, another 115-kg female calf was killed, but its mother apparently chased off the killers before the calf could be mutilated and the mother stood over the remains until the following day.
The would-be butchers picked another calf. Its decomposing remains were found three days later, the skin completely removed from its head.
That calf had also been eviscerated and its organs carried away.
On June 28, a 320-kg heifer was found missing its sex organs, an ear, an eye and its udder.
The Verchomins say a veterinarian who examined the previous remains said it was impossible to prove the animals were not killed by predators.
"Those crummy little coyotes are supposed to kill those two-year-olds," Doris Verchomin said incredulously.
"They don't - unless they've started to dine with a knife and fork."
She said she was unhappy with the response by police to the earlier mutilations and was worried that no one was giving credence to her family's fears.
"They told us to keep quiet before," Verchomin said.
Hypotheses
Famous creatures
There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.
Ritual, rite, custom
Ritual (Latin ritualis – ceremonial, from Latin ritus, "solemn ceremony, cult rite") is a set of rituals accompanying a religious act, or a custom—developed or established procedure for doing something.
A rite is a set of actions of a stereotypical nature, which has a symbolic meaning. It is often characterized as a traditional human action. At the same time, it can relate to both religious beliefs and superstitions.
According to the Great Russian Encyclopedia, these words are synonymous.
