SENASA TO MAKE INITIAL REPORTS KNOWN:

The sanitary agency conducted investigations in the Pampan regions where the dead animals turned up

The National Health and Agroalimentary Service (SENASA) shall release initial reports on its survey of the investigations conducted over the weekend in regard to mutilated bovine cases in various Pampan provinces. This comes from qualified spokespersons of the agency's director, Bernardo Cané, who personally toured the areas reported as epicenters for mutilated animals.

From the start, when these strange mutilations first appeared, the province of Buenos Aires was the hardest hit, at locations so remote that it was necessary to cover long distances on all terrain pickup trucks and some stretches on horseback.

Subsequently, the phenomenon, which is still unexplained, took place in Rio Negro, Cordoba, Rosario and La Pampa, according to reports that reached Senasa. As a result of consultations with veterinarians and technicians in areas adjacent to the mutilation sites, the possibility that the events were related to predators or carrion animals was discarded, since the affected areas did not betray the presence of such carrion birds.

Surveys in hand, Bernardo Cané and a team of scientists - including three from the National Atomic Energy Commission - toured the regions and SENASA reported that this afternoon it will have an initial evaluation on the subject, although the official's collaborators said they had "no information" in this regard. It was only said that it was possible that it may be SENASA's own director who makes the serious situation known - a situation which has caused considerable losses to cattlemen and has given rise to fear among them and national authorites due to the mysterious way in which the events have developed.
