“That’s another thing that’s never made sense. Why would an advanced civilization travel all the way across the galaxy to torture a harmless cow? Don’t they have any innocent creatures of their own they could mutilate? And why come to Earth? We’re in the middle of nowhere, cosmically speaking, all the way out on an insignificant arm of the galaxy that’s about as populated as this part of the country is. There’s just no reason for them to come to a backwater one-horse planet like Earth when they could go to the galactic equivalent of Tokyo. Or Paris.”
