No place for brutality

I am in total agreement with sentiments expressed by Ann Minish (letter, June 24) revealing her revulsion over the brutality of fatally beating a goat in a neighborhood back yard.

Her only comment with which I disagree is: "There's a place for that kind of thing ... ." In my view, there is no place for that kind of thing.

If these cretins were my neighbors, I would try to educate them about a humane alternative if the goat needed to be put down.

I'm disappointed that anyone thinks "there is a place for that kind of thing."

I must assume that Helen is a strict vegetarian. Otherwise, I smell hypocrisy.

At least they aren't screwing em. Never know around here.

I know this might sound hypocritical since I blog all the time about lte's, but it's kind of boring reading lte's about lte's.

Frankly, I have enjoyed the Goat killing story as it reminds me of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and the scene of cooking the lamb in the front yard! Also, the scene from "Roger and Me" where the lady is skinning rabbits in her yard.

"Roger and me"

Great film.
