TheLeon Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I read about this when the story first broke. Absolutely insane. Sure, “kids gotta learn”, but come the fuck on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 It's hard enough to get police to go track a stolen car down and these cops sent an entire squad 500 miles to confiscate a goat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firewithin Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 would they have done the same if it was a fellow pig? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Sounds like Cabin in the Woods shit. In that if they didn’t sacrifice this innocent goat, terrible things would happen going forward. Still it’s a giant WTF people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I swear I read about this story last year. Or is this a totally new case of local white guys wanting to kill an animal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenTongue Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I can't shake the feeling that the fair officials are a bunch of officious pricks unused to holding positions of authority, the types for whom any taste of power goes immediately to their heads. Based on what the article reported, multiple efforts were made by the mother to handle the matter amicably, in a reasonable timeframe, with a reasonable request to accommodate any cost burdens caused by her daughter's action, and that those efforts ran up against bureacratic shitheads whose ignorance and lack of basic empathy prompted them to react in about the worst way possible. So fucking stupid and unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 4-H, FFA, and “fair culture” is full of really weird people that wish for a time long ago. Punishing a kid in this way seems to track with my experience interacting with these types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
