  1. What an utter cunt. Bang him behind bars as long as possible. 10, 20, 30 years–whatever. Senseless act of aggression and violence. Get him off the streets forever.

  2. Love to see a thread bringing out both the extremely defensive omnivores and the weirdos who get a raging boner at the thought of locking someone, anyone, up and throwing away the key. Some of my favourite people.

  3. Classic psychopathic behaviour.

    Seriously mentally ill child who will need lifelong medication and observation.

    Unfortunately that will not happen because this is the UK so watch for this same individual to show up in a year or so for doing something even more horrific.

  4. I hold no brief for farmers. As a countrywoman, I have seen too much negligence and cruelty towards animals. Farmers farm animals for money, and people eat animals because they like the taste, and animal suffering is an unpleasant consequence of this. Indeed, I doubt there are that many people who would have the strength , or stomach to slaughter a sheep or cow. This incident though, is something else; actions like this are carried out for the pleasure and satisfaction of power and destruction over weaker and inoffensive creatures. People who do this are a danger to others.

  5. There’s very little information in this article to start labelling the kid a psycho, serial killer and demand he be locked up for good.

    All we know is that 14 sheep are dead and they’re looking at a 17 year old as the reason why. Unless he’s had a gun I find it difficult to imagine how he’d manage to catch and kill 14 sheep. Have you every tried to catch a sheep? They’re fast, strong and will fight back if you piss them off. 1 or 2 is feasible but 14, that’s a lot of work.

    I wonder if its more a case of him doing something stupid that’s resulted in their deaths (as opposed to actively killing them). Could be he turned off a water tap which has caused overheating and dehydration in this heat. Maybe he’s dumped some stuff in the field which the sheep have come along and eaten. Maybe he was driving too fast, left the road and went through a flock.

  6. It’s fantastic to see that everyone here agrees that the boy is a murderer. It’s been a long time that I’ve seen so many people together that don’t eat meat and support killing billions of animals each year just to eat them after living in terrible environments.

  7. The lambs were more than likely about to be killed shortly anyway, and in no nicer circumstances.

    Let’s not be hypocritical and all act outraged by this.

    Look up lamb age of slaughter and methods of slaughter, or even better: leaked footage.

  8. If he’s a teenager he’s eating age! He’s had a good life in a high welfare home and the RSPCA can certify his humane halal slaughter.
