You don’t think it has anything to do with low-information citizen(s) and ‘GOP = elephant’, do you?

Cause it is going to be hate crime + animal cruelty + public endangerment + stupidity + (probably) intoxication + ....

We have had several animals shot in our pasture by passersby in autos.

Do you know the reason why?

Drunken kids? Boredom? Mistaken your livestock for deers? Deer hunting season too short?

Like I said, what has the world come to nowadays.

In one case it was a cow shot in the middle of the day. No hunting season. Probably boredom, like shooting up mail boxes.

In another it was a horse shot. Again in the middle of the day.

The cow survived, the horse died.
