Yeah some of these things happened weeks ago but I forgot to tell you guys because I had no PC at the time and was more focussed on trying to sort that out first. By the way, I'm loving the new setup.
Most people know already but there's been a bit of a Christmas miracle in the form of not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5 Christmas day babies among my friends.
3 separate individuals gave birth at different times on Christmas day resulting in a total of 5 babies. Fair enough 2 of those babies are goats but it's still wow.
For 1 family however their Christmas was ruined as they were carted off to the hospital in the early hours of the morning leaving an angry 14 year old rather pissed off that they didn't have their presents. Not fun.
Secondly a quote unquote 'funny' video posted on YouTube showing a compilation of animals fighting has lead to the arrest of over 50 people in Eastern Europe when it was found that some of the videoes were footage of illegal animal fights which resulted in the deaths in several prize winning animals which had previously been stolen from farms.
One of these animals was a local celebrity and since this is Eastern Europe where they certain don't have any trouble with overcrowded prisons it's likely the entire 50+ people will receive a jail sentence. Nice.
Then to this week. A friend of mine who owns a goat farm has yet again had their animals killed by dogs.
Their neighbor released his dogs off their lead when walking through the goat's paddock aand the animals went straight for the goats and killed all the ones there.
In the fight 3 of his dogs were mauled to death by the goats when the goats defended themselves causing the dogs to back off.
However 1 more dog died of it's injuries and the surviving 3 goats from the attack also did te same.
The guy and his dogs were apprehended by the farmers who called the police.
The neighbor told the police that he thought the goat's paddock was a national park giving the excuse that the tall bushes mislead him as he expected flat ground.
The police told him he's not allowed to release animals in a national park anyway, seized the remaining dogs telling the neighbor they WILL be put down and then called for a background check.
The police were a lot less pleasant when they found out that the same man had been arrested for doing the exact same thing less than a year ago and that the farm has also had several dog attacks between these 2 points where no culprit was found.
Last time the neighbor got slapped with a fine and had his animals seized. If he doesn't get a ban from keeping animals this time I will be very surprised.
