Pursuant to the Montana Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am writing to request any and all files in connection with animal or livestock mutilations from 1967 through 2022. I believe these records are under the purview of the Montana Department of Livestock.

As a citizen of the United States, I am entitled to access public records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552. I request that you provide me with copies of all records, documents, notes, reports, and any other material related to animal or livestock mutilations that have been investigated by the Montana Department of Livestock from January 1, 1967, to December 31, 2022.

Please provide me with any available information regarding the following:

The number of reported animal or livestock mutilations in Montana from 1967 to 2022.
The locations of the reported animal or livestock mutilations.
The number of investigations launched into these incidents.
The results of the investigations, including any reports, conclusions, or findings.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.
