14 year old charged with “animal cruelty” for killing baby cow

Louisiana is a hellhole. My mom showed me this article, wondering why someone would do such a thing- she ate beef the day before- and probably the day after. A good friend of mine’s little brother shot a dead calf for fun. Someone I know accidently poisoned a dog, so instead of bringing it to the vet they swung it over a tree and shot it multiple times until it feel in the river (this happened when they were hunting deer, and of course the girls listening to the story were shocked). There is not a single animal sanctuary here, not even near liberal New Orleans, but plenty of rescue centers for dogs and cats (I had to travel an hour to find a rescue guinea pig, though Lord knows they’re abused here by kids). Hypocrisy is wildly popular here, as beautifully demonstrated by this article.
