Hear it Again: The hunt for truth behind Oregon's mysterious cattle mutilations

In 2019, the remote plains of Harney County, Oregon made national news. Scattered amongst groves of ponderosa pine were a handful of mutilated cattle. The cows had an almost surgical removal of their tongues and other organs. But the most astounding thing is that the scenes where these cattle were found were pristine. No tracks. And not one drop of blood – the carcasses were drained dry.  That detail became the inspiration for a documentary by co-directors Jackson Devereux and Lachlan Hinton, and reporter Anna King. Their documentary film – three years in the making – is titled “Not one Drop of Blood.” The documentary will screen at the Northwest Film Forum's Local Sightings film festival in Seattle on Saturday, September 20th. Guests: Anna King, senior correspondent for Northwest Public Broadcasting Jackson Devereux and Lachlan Hinton, directors of "Not One Drop of Blood."
