wtf? *discuss this is disturbing video evidence of abuse by negligence and failure to protect. belongs in a court of law, not videosift.

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - discuss requested by pipp3355.

"owners were arrested Friday on one count each of animal cruelty. The charges stem from an incident that happened Feb. 23 when the Devines’ dogs attacked and ate three llamas alive at the couple’s farm on 6575 County Highway 26 between Garden City and Blountsville. Neither of the Devines live at the property. Neighbors filmed the attack and contacted Roundtree about pressing animal cruelty charges"

Yea we should press charges for animals being animals. Prove how this is any different ethically than a snake owner feeding live animals to their pet. Or to the methods used to kill cattle for those wonderful hamburgers you eat.

I think we should let it stay, for awareness if for nothing else. If you don't like it downvote it. Stop impeding the democratic process.

Would we be having an issue if it were lions eating water buffalo? Wolves eating a deer? I don't think so. The extra dimension here is human negligence since these animals appear to be in captivity.

I was pretty appalled that someone would let their own dogs savage their livestock.

the people have spoken.. *return

Returning this video from Sift Talk - return requested by pipp3355.

Still, not what I come to the Sift for, so I exercise my downvote privileges. Sorry Llama. I know there are more good llama videos out there.

start throwing rocks? Yell? Where's your gun if you live out near a farm??

wow just strange all around.. thats a shit load of dogs, and a lot of time to just be watching and not... do anything but comment under your breath. you can fake dogs out.. haven't you seen Cesar Milan i would have at least tried to hit the dogs with rocks, but yea i guess that's the extent of my plan... it's something!!!

it has a news story and its current. its not overly violent imagery (yes i have examples of what i would consider varying scales of violence)... the audio alone is as bad as anything, i think.

Upvote because of above reasons, and... the [chicks]'s name is llama and [she] posts llama videos... that's gotta be hard enough as it is... and this is quite relevant to the world of the llama; a world which we share!

...look how non-chalant the dog eating the llamas ass is... he barely makes an effort to move and chew. i wonder if that's a prime piece or if he's not popular with the pack.

Here Schmawy:

I also think the camera man could have done something other than be upset. Even if they aren't your dogs or your livestock.. Throw them some damn doggy kibble or something.

yea, dogs are lazy, he could have thrown food and they would have just eaten it instead of gnawin' llama

Moving this video to Llama's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

1. Lab-grown meats are inevitable. http://www.slate.com/id/2191705/
2. Lab-grown meats solve many nutritional and ethical problems.
3. Everyone will drag their feet until they die ('science progresses funeral by funeral'), but their kids will understand that the world won't end if you eat meat grown in controlled environments.
