There is a popular theory that explains the evisceration. In an act of community service this puppet show details that theory as a warning to dairy farmers and cattlemen all across this nation.

The AlienCow Puppet Show is a short puppet skit that quite simply depicts the scenario of two very typical aliens coming to earth, finding a cow and dissecting it.
There is a myth that cows are mutilated by aliens performing their own autopsies for purposes we can only wonder at. So this show is basically the blow-by-blow reenactment of what might occur during one of these ghastly, yet entertaining other-worldly science experiments.
The show was first created at the Eugene O’ Neill Theater Center in 1996. It has since been performed many times in venues from Atlanta to Vermont. Most notably at the Jim Henson Festival Cabaret night in 1996 and at the Center for Puppetry Arts in 1999.
The show displayed the style of puppetry known as Czech black and involve non-verbal storytelling.
