The beating and killing of the alpaca “Masterpiece” has really struck a nerve with me. What is wrong with a person that would cause them to do something like this?

I totally agree that the two youths involved should be charged as adults for their heinous crime. If they could be so heartless as to kill a helpless animal, someone’s pet, what’s next? A child? Elderly persons who can’t defend themselves?

A message needs to be sent that this is not acceptable and the seriousness of this brutal beating and killing needs to be addressed.
