Van Vleet, Mississippi- 11 horses & Donkeys shot

I don't know carry laws and concealment laws in NC, @Goat Whisperer, but on your own property, the public laws shouldn't apply. I may be wrong. Nothing wrong in getting your carrying permit for public carry. I have my lifetime personal protection permit here in IN. With it, I can open carry or conceal carry. I don't carry when going into the public school or hospitals. At least one here in Indianapolis uses metal detectors. I don't want to tangle with the hospital police.

Has the animal killings been happening more or is the news reporting it more? Something to think about.

What difference does it make? It's still wrong and it's still awful.

This is farms I follow & friends, & friends of friends. Not just a news article I stumbled across. I don't have any direct contact with the person that this happened too. I only put the link up so others could read the story. There is definitely an upward trend.

I used to never have people screaming at the goats- now it's becoming a common occurrence. Same thing happening with random livestock shootings.

Goat theft is about the same, in our area anyway.


Every year, around very particular times there were particular groups of people sneaking into farmers fields and killing livestock- clearly a particular ritual. Meat was never taken. It happened to someone's neighbor I know. The interesting thing was that only the horned goats were used in the ritual- goats without horns were spared.
As awful as this is it was somewhat to be expected in certain areas. I know one farm got a bunch of Anatolians to keep people off of their farm. It worked.


Yes we can open carry. Quite a few open carry here but I'd personally rather CC.

 

[Simpleterrier]

Yes it is bad. Alot of people believe things are getting worse when in reality it is just more readily available to get information on stories.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

You keepin' count?

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I understand where you are coming from and it that does happen. But in this case I truly do believe there is and upward trend.
I hope not though. I know here people are getting stupider and stupider. But I'm not going to open that can of worms here

It sure doesn't take a bonnafied survey, or a Rocket science degree to see where society is truly heading.....but,

2 problems with carrying a gun:

1) You must be sure that you will be willing to use it in the (hopefully never occurring) situation that you need to, or it may be taken from you and used against you. It happens to LEO's on a regular basis, and they are trained, not just in the handling of weapons, but also in the handling of suspects.

2) In the state of North Carolina, you may use deadly force to protect yourself, but you may also find yourself having to prove to a jury of your peers that you had good reason to feel that your life was in danger. Protecting property is not enough, and doing something like "firing a warning shot" could get you charged with reckless endangerment, discharging a weapon in the direction of an occupied vehicle, etc.

There are definitely a lot of sicko's and just plain mean people in this world, though whether there are more, or the stories about them get around more, I don't know. I know that a local animal rescue won't adopt black cats out during October, and that has been their policy for decades . . . .

(But y'all do remember that the discussion of animal rights groups is a forbidden topic on this forum, right?)
