Abused sheep found in dorm at Boston College
2005-09-15
For the second straight year, a sheep has been stolen from the Natural Resources Trust of Easton, abused, and left inside of a dormitory at Stonehill College. According to Robert Babineau, executive director of the trust, the sheep was taken Sept. 3, spray-painted in black, dressed in a bra, and placed inside a Stonehill dorm.

#14  Flav: So you'd volunteer your Rottie to be harrassed by a bunch of idiot teenagers -- oh, excuse me -- idiot twenty-somethings? Frat trash? Poor dog. Have you considered donating your dog to someone who deserves him? Because you don't.

Capsu: Just because people elsewhere are going through hell doesn't give license to abuse a helpless animal in the U.S. Duh.

Frank: Try to actually THINK, okay? The terrorists you diss here regularly, (no problem with that) have the exact same attitude toward women and children. The mistreatment of animals is one step closer to the mistreatment of physically weaker human beings. Besides, if someone did this on their own, they'd be considered a disturbed lunatic. But if it's a group . . . well, that's "okay." Not. And BTW, I wouldn't have commented, except that the report indicated that abuse had occurred and that the animal was stressed. See, Frank, we have LAWS against that kind of bullshit, in case you didn't know.

My dog's a Rotweiller -- damn straight, I'd volunteer him. Hell, he'd be glad to volunteer himself.

#11  And I agree with Frank.
Having been on a tour of a Hallel kill floor, I can report that under any set of values, the sheep from Boston College is having a better day than those standing in lines all around the mooselimb world as I type this.

#8  " . . . the sheep seemed distraught from the experience"

I'm all for harmless college pranks, but think about it. The group of "we're SO cool" college guys were probably mean to the sheep. First it was taken from a familiar environment, then no doubt roughly handling it, getting it into a truck or dragging it along. I can only imagine them frightening it and kicking it or hitting it, laughing, making it drink beer, etc. And the paint would be really bad, depending on how much they used (and if you don't think so, go spray yourself with spraypaint--especially near the eyes). Animals also can understand a sense of "threat" when human (animals) are humiliating them. Such actions only prove the attackers' lack of maturity and character.

Terrorizing animals sucks, and anyone who thinks otherwise should examine their own fucked-up "ideology." The evidence that the animal was exhibiting signs of severe stress is nothing to be proud of, or to think funny.

The whole thing is outrageous, and if you don't think so, ask youself if volunteering your dog for the same treatment at the hands of these spoiled brats, would be something you'd be interested in.

#6   the sheep seemed distraught from the experience."
That is simply an MSM lie. I saw the sheep interviewed by Greta last night. When asked how it was feeling now that the worst was over , the sheep said " ... not bbbaaaddd"
Thanks for coming. I'll be here all week!

#5  Oh Lordy, I hope they've not done the unmentionable.
"In the latest case, the sheep, as well as a chicken, were taken from an educational location of the trust's land on Main Street in Easton called the Sheep Pasture. While the chicken is unharmed, Babineau said, the sheep seemed distraught from the experience."

I guess this explains why sheep hate us.

#4  Boston is a haven for liberals. You know anything goes. The liberal view is that it is OK to have rules and laws but they shouldn't apply to me.
