Thanks Andy W. for the tip!
Nine goats and four calves have been found mauled to death in Shelby County, Kentucky. The mysterious creature attacked the livestock not to feed, but to kill. The bodies of the animals were found with their faces mauled and bodies intact.
Rust Newton, Deputy County Judge Executive, says, “It’s not doing it to kill the animal to eat, these animals are just being mulled. That’s where the mystery is at this point.”
This of course raises several questions as to what predatory animal behaves in such manner.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A mystery in Shelby County has people on high alert.
Something is on the prowl, attacking animals and leaving them for dead.
People say a creature attacked nine goats and about three to four calves in the past couple weeks.
Rust Newton, Deputy County Judge Executive, says, “It’s not doing it to kill the animal to eat, these animals are just being mulled. That’s where the mystery is at this point.”
Neighbors say it lurks in the woods, and only comes out at night.
No one has seen the creature, but people are on the lookout. A couple found what they believe are tracks from the animal.
Frank Edwards lives in the area. He says, “We’ve got trail cameras out, we’ve got traps out it’s like it’s smarter than we are.”
County officials are holding a meeting Monday night at 6:30 in Waddy to inform neighbors.
