Found out yesterday that our unexplained animal deaths have an explanation. Not the one that I wanted though. They have essentially been murdered. I know the culprit as they have confessed. I'm absolutely sick to my stomach over this. The range of animals goes from chickens to goats to a dog last night...the llama was suspicious but no confession to that particular animal. We've lost a number of animals without good explanation this winter and now that I know why and how I wish that I didn't.
