## Airtel to SAC, Albuquerque RE: THE MUTILATIONS OF 15 ANIMALS
NOTE: This case involves the mutilation of 15 cattle in the past three years on Indian reservations in the state of New Mexico. These mutilations have occurred in other areas of the southwestern part of the United States during the same time period, and the mutilations have been characterized as generally ritualistic. Investigative efforts by various jurisdictions have been negative. Senator Schmitt from New Mexico has taken an interest in these mutilations and has been in contact with the DOJ. The Albuquerque Division has been instructed to conduct appropriate investigation into this matter in accordance with the enclosed memorandum from DOJ.
