What this man did was so cruel it brings me tears to even talk about it. How could someone have that little concern for defenseless animals and someones pets. He needs counseling and some time in jail. People who have pets understand that they become part of your family. Maybe some of the prisoners will let him feel fear.

He really needs some counseling.

Poor poor animals. What else is he capable of...

I hope this person (I say that generously) gets some help. People who severely abuse animals usually are also cruel to humans. I am also hopeful that the animal cruelty felony law comes in to play.Based on his behavior, it is questionable that he be loose in society. I think he needs his wanker trimmed.

If the owner had slaughtered the animals for food and then decapitated the animals, would it be cruelty? You know PITA does have a point about the slaughter of any animal, not just those considered pets.

I meant to say PETA, not PITA.

Hmm ... this story doesn't provide much information.

Did he do this as some sort of sick joke?

Whose goats were they? Were they his or someone else's pet goats?

In either case, he definitely needs some mental help. Decapitating and then leaving the goats in front of an elementary school shows a total disregard for any small child who might walk by. Not to mention the sheer cruelty he inflicted on the goats.

I realize society uses these animals for food but we shouldn't allow people people to do this as some sort of macabre fun.
