The Tongue Never Cut
In-depth chemical analysis of the blood in some of these animals, we would find higher levels than there should be of a sedative. We found high levels of succinate, which is a breakdown product of another anesthetic called succinylcholine. For example, in Northeastern Utah, we came across a case where this cow had been alive the previous day. The pericardial sac which surrounds the heart was completely intact, but the heart was shredded as if this sliced and diced into a pulp. So it's sort of a classic series of... Tongue never cut. Yeah, the Tongue is sometimes removed.
