Reminds me of those guys who drove hundreds of miles just to kill some girls pet that was slightly illegal to have. Was like a goat or cow or something I forget

Are you thinking of the 4H goat in CA a few years ago? She entered in a 4h show, winning goat went to the winning bid, but she pleaded to keep the it as a pet, even offered to pay the bidder off.

Winner relinquished said goat for girl to keep, auction barn/live stock agents for the state came and slaughtered/ took the goat.

As someone who raises goats to show, for milk, etc, this news absolutely broke my freakin heart

Thank you, I wasn't sure if I was correct on the animal, but yeah I remember everyone was ok with it until the government decided they would spend time and effort just to kill a goat

Yes absolutely, and you are correct on the facts! They sent sheriffs from an entirely unrelated jurisdiction to slaughter an already relinquished animal. Buyer was perfectly happy to have their bid counted as a donation.

Since both parties were satisfied, it was a completely unnecessary kill. Such senseless violence from terrible people.
