Sheep stabbing at Lyneham High

Arseholes.

Hose responsible should receive the same treatment as a dog which carried out the same sort off attack would receive, humanely put to sleep for the safety of the rest of us.

Pazza the scum who did this are wired wrong, broken machines, mentally ill. Hopefully they’ll be caught and at least named. That way they can be got at by people who really dislike cruelty to animals.

It may come easy to some to be cynical about this issue and make light of it with stupid jokes but the case is that someone in our community could be so vicious as to violently attack two harmless, much loved, gentle, trusting and docile creatures. I knew the two animals and they would have walked right up to their killers with complete trust. They were hand raised and grew with the students who have tended them from year 7 to now. I saw those students today who had had followed them throughout their time at Lyneham and it would be an understatement to say they were distraught or heart broken.

I don’t understand what meanness it takes to do such a thing. And I can’t see how anyone can think its cause for a joke. It’s just f*ing disgusting.

Me too, Punter. Hopefully the forensics will turn up something useful.

Correct Granny. Remembering the tragedy of this incident, the best circumstance is it was a basic case of ‘vandalism’ but in poor taste. However, people with homicidal tendencies are known to begin experimenting with animal slaughter before becomming somthing more frighteing. Either way I hope the Police can come across those reponsible.

It’s very ‘Lord of the Flies’ – people descending into savagery and losing ordinary human compassion and decency. We don’t know that it’s kids, but it is a disturbing trend. Ivan the Terrible and his ilk all started with the torturing of animals. This really is quite chilling to me.

Sick, twisted arseholes!

Why do we have to share this world with so many cu*ts?????

In a nutshell. Evil, sick, vicious, and abhorrent. And they won’t just stop with this. Maybe they’ll catch a loved family pet, or someone’s kid next, and torture that. Maybe they already have.

As they say….kids or teenagers who like the thrill of torturing animals can grow up to do other terrible things such as murder etc. I hope they catch the bastards and get the book thrown at them. Must make them feel so powerful to pick on a defenseless animal.
THEY MUST FEEL REALLY GROWN UP…..redneck ferals.

Probably a bunch of students angry at the agriculture teacher.

This would only be one of a number of incidents like this in Canberra involving animals kept at schools by Ag faculties. If it’s not humans it will be domestic dogs. From my observation most agriculture students get on with their students and visa versa and those kids taking agriculture like and respect animals. This is an unjustified slur on these students.

The article said there have been several similar incidents in Sydney also.

This and a host of recent animal cruelty incidents (the kitten and the railway, kangaroo shot with arrow, etc) are concerning. It’s well established that people who are cruel towards animals often move on to even more severe behaviour. One would hope it’s just one sicko but I guess the reality is more than a few of these weirdoes are out there. Whether there’s one of a hundred, lock them up.

Unfathomable. Animal torture/killing is apparently one of the first signs of serial killer tendencies; be afraid Canberra, be very afraid.

Probably more a damn good indication of sick and twisted individuals. If that was done as some kind of revenge from Aggie students, then they need serious counseling as that indicates no appreciation for their actions.

These people have probably have tortured and killed animals before. They will undoubtedly continue to torture and kill animals. They are weak and gutless specimens.

They certainly need psychological assessment. But is there a cure for being a bad and evil person?

Probably a bunch of students angry at the agriculture teacher.

If they’re caught, they’ll get off as per usual in the ACT. Barbed wire and plastic tube punishment would be just.

Find them. Fix what is wrong in their minds or keep them locked up. People who do that have shown a tendency to progress to other things.

Jilted Kiwi lover, hell-bent on revenge perhaps?

That’s really baaaaad!

Hmmm,

Perhaps that was a little distateful?

Pretty sick stuff really.

Hope they catch whoever did it. We don’t need people capable of this lurking around our suburbs in the wee hours.

Hopefully they will find those responsible.

There is provision for the person responsible to undergo psychological assessment prior to any sentencing under the Animal Welfare Act. This may be the start of a terrible career of serial cruelty.

The sheep were kept behind a pretty high wire fence (maybe 10ft high). Its not someone would decide to hop over the fence and do it on a whim while stumbling home drunk from Dickson.

I have never been able to understand how a person can enjoy the suffering of others. The one that had to be euthanased could have spent the whole night in agony. I’m glad that they were found by staff rather than students. This will be very upsetting for the kids, I should think. The place won’t seem as safe or happy as before.

My grandfather used to stab lambs all the time.

Then he would skin them rip out all their innards and hang them out to dry near the chookhouse.

My gran liked the brains and livers, so they would usually end up on the kitchen bench soon after.

A day or so later the butcher would put the carcass on a table in the garage and chop up the lamb into convenient bite size pieces.

Some would be used that night, but most went into the freezer and we would have yummy lamb meals for weeks afterwards.

But, I take your point. Sounds a bit dodgy.
