Authorities are beginning to think a Canadian rancher has a case of mad cowboy disease — after he told them that his recent round of bovine deaths was caused by aliens wielding death rays.

Werner Bock has lost more than 250 head of cattle, but insists he’s not to blame for the critters’ demise — despite YouTube videos that showed his herd to be filled with emaciated, tired looking cows.

He made the claim after animal control officials filed neglect charges against him, charges he refuted by saying they “died from what we call a death beam — where the atmospheric air is manipulated into a death beam, focused on the noses of the animals.”
