Prosecute Sadistic Texas Teens Charged with Llama Killing

Prosecute Sadistic Texas Teens Charged with Llama Killing

 

Two Harris County teenagers have been arrested for the brutal slaying of a llama and the shooting of her mate at Figment Ranch in Cypress, Texas. For two months, authorities were at loss as to who may have committed this sadistic crime. The minors, both students at Tomball High School in Harris County, Texas, confessed to beheading La Tida and shooting herd protector Lorenzo.

Harris County Constable Alan Rosen told news station KHOU that it was one of the most disturbing cases of animal cruelty he had seen. “What we worry about is someone who’s willing to do that will transition to doing this to humans,” he said. “This is a sequel to doing other things.”

The boys have not been named because they are juveniles.

At the time of the incident, the ranch-owners were away. They lived in fear during the two month investigation, anxious that whoever turned their world upside down might return to harm the other llamas. Ranch co-owner Robin Turrell said, “They left Lorenzo for dead, and took La Tida’s head.”

Somehow, Lorenzo survived the shooting. He must learn to live with the pain of a bullet lodged next to his spine and the psychological scars of this hideous crime.

Violence to animals has no place in society.
