Baby Goat Kidnapped and Choked to Death

A goat from a Long Island family farm was found strangled to death with a belt after intruders broke into his pen with bolt cutters. The goat named Teddy was abducted for unknown reasons along with his twin sister Pinky. Teddy, a cream-colored 3-month-old, was found dead on the side of a nearby street with a belt tightened around his neck and his little blue collar still around his neck. The family who kept him on their poultry farm in Kings Park described him as comfortable around humans and affectionate with children. Pinky, who was tan and also played happily among the farm's ponies, sheep and geese remains missing. The Suffolk County SPCA is looking for any help in finding Pinky as well as who might have been behind the senseless attack.

Human monsters are fuckn up the planet little by little! It seems that the RACE OF half brained humans think that if they can kill something, why not go ahead and do it?! That is why evil resides in the human spirit. Hopefully he finds HIS own evil end. Fuckhead!

The asphyxiation fetish bit got out of hand.

Joey Goomba has a thing for goats apparently. Maybe they ran out of fake Gucci belts at the mall....

Please don't call the cops on me. I am choking my chicken as I type this.

This is America. Every other neighborhood has a psychologically disturbed child.

I had a friend growing up whose younger sister raised goats for 4H. They are seriously cute animals and fun to play with. One night someone broke into their pen and killed them all, apparently just for fun. There are some sick freaks out there.

Let's pray for Pinky's safe recovery.

Who is breeding these idiots?

not just assclowns, sociopaths.

Probably a bunch of assclown teens. They'll end up in jail eventually.

People that kill or maim animals for fun are the forerunners of serial killers. I remember reading about Jeffrey Dahlmer torturing animals as a child. It shouldn't take even the Suffolk cops long to find this creep.

Human Beings are shit and Americans are the shittiest of human beans.

thearidginality

um...it wasn't a pig, it was a goat, how is it possible you read about a pig?

uhh

Exactly what #1 said. It isn't wrong to farm, slaugther, and eat pigs but the world is damned if we let pig-chokers run free.

WTF is wrong with people? 10 to 1 that its a bunch of shitfaced longuyland miscreants. Here's hoping they got caught and choked with their own belts.
