More new animals, just what the Tranch needs!

It was mentioned earlier, but it's pretty worrisome that the (rare) pictures we get of the alpaca herd always show so few of them... Sure, maybe the other 100+ alpacas are off somewhere else, but I can't shake the feeling that most of them are actually in a mass grave.

This is so disturbing. All of the visuals here are just... completely fucked. There are only ~30 alpaca in that photo, which means even if that's a completely different set of alpaca from the ~20 in the last alpaca photos they posted, they're still down over fifty alpacas (not to mention all but one chicken, a bunch of dogs, the goats they adopted a short time ago, and all the sheep) from the number they claim to have (I forget what the total number of alpacas was supposed to be, but it was over 100). And again, here you see evidence of scrub grass and ground cover coming back to life, which is consistent with a massive drop in the number of grazing animals on the property.

What the hell is going on at the tranch? Did they only need snacks from Costco because they've resorted to eating the alpacas for cheap sustenance? ...I wouldn't put it past them but honestly, I think butchering an animal is too much effort for these fine fellows; those 'pacas are probably wolf food or else in some big communal grave somewhere on the property, the poor things.

That dog cage is seriously disturbing, too. It's so tiny. How many hours a day do you think these "herding dogs" will be trapped in that thing? I bet you anything they get some exercise "herding" alpacas for maybe two days before the tranchers forget about them and leave them locked in that tiny little shitty space 24/7. Those poor dogs do not deserve this treatment. They're so pretty, too. brb preemptively mourning.

I have so much hate in my heart for animal abusers like the tranchers. Their stupid male egos are too big to admit that they fucked up and ask for help finding new homes for the multitude of animals they neither can nor want to take care of, so they just let them die and cover it up and hope nobody notices that they're over fifty - probably closer to a hundred at least - animals down from what they've been claiming to have. If they'd put out a call for aid on social media, they probably could have found homes for some of those animals instead of (most likely) letting them waste away or die of exposure in the winter.

I do wonder if it would be possible to find out what wolf sanctuary or whatever they were giving their carcasses to, and inquire as to whether they've received any lately. for curiosity's sake, of course.

They had 188 alpacas. 188.

Tossing in a couple cents from my experience, the dogs are Australian cattle dogs/blue heelers, one of the smartest and most energetic breeds around. If they are penned up too long without exercise (a lot of exercise -- these are eight hours a day type working dogs) they will go bonkers and potentially become aggressive and destructive. They are also known to have solitary and territorial inclinations (comes of the dingo blood used to create the breed) so there's no guarantee that they will play well with the tranch's existing hoard of livestock guardian dogs. Although who knows, we haven't gotten a good look at those lately either, maybe they've fed the wolves too.

They are notoriously pretty hard to train and if you know the way that Penny phrased it it sounds like the dogs were basically thrown out because they needed a new home and they just gave them to the first person who would take them. They are basically not a good dog for the overwhelming majority of people because most people don't have a need for working dogs. The only breed of dog the tranche needs is the Dilation Shepherd

They're also called heelers for a reason they're trying to bite at the heels of cattle.... I'm sure this will go over well with alpaca

I often tell people, they're a fine companion breed so long as you're always in training for your next marathon.

 

[KiwiFuzz]

Cattle dogs are very smart: smart enough to second-guess what you tell them to do.

They can also get nippy, they're prone to running away, and when they get it in their heads to do something, they are hard to discourage.

I hope that little dingo pupper turns out okay.

 

[The Emperor Skeksis]

Those dogs needs training to be any good, and Penny can't even train Kevin to do the simplest things. He's gonna throw those poor dogs in with the survivor alpaca, and then he'll get angry when they don't immediately know what to do. With any luck they will run away and keep running.

 

[Sourceress]

They had 188 alpacas. 188.

Jesus. Yeah, there is absolutely no way that they have anywhere near that number now. Assuming the recent pics are two completely different groups of alpaca, we've seen what.. 50 total in recent memory? My god.

Not to mention.. how long has it been since we saw any of the sheep? They shared that pic recently of "the poultry" that only had one chicken in it. Haven't seen their cats or dogs in a good long time. The goats they "rescued" have disappeared off the face of the Earth as far as social media is concerned. Something bad is clearly going down there right now.

(If I had to guess: They had massive, massive die-offs over the winter due to the extreme cold and lack of adequate food and shelter, and have lost even more animals since then due to a combination of their lack of funds, new drywalling business to make ends meet, and the tranch serfs fleeing leading to the animals not being cared for and a lack of adequate food, vitamins, medicine and water.)

I doubt we'll get the full scale of it said out loud unless something drastic happens, though, like if Bonnie goes back to the tranch to try to reclaim it or something.

btw I don't keep up on the Kevin thread as much as I should - any pics of the animals over there recently that didn't make it here?

'The death of one alpaca is a tragedy, the death of 130 alpaca is a statistic'

-- Penny

 

[Windows XP Home Edition]

Thousands of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks in modern-day Turkey were massacred or marched off to deserts to die simply because they were considered a threat to the stability of the Ottoman Empire. Armenians in particular were a target of the Ottomans not only due to their relative status as second class Christian citizens in the empire but their relative success. In fact 20 years earlier, Armenians were slaughtered in the Hamidian Massacres for this reason. And to this day, Turkey refuses to take any responsibility for any wrongdoings in the Ottoman Empire and instead cry victimhood, claiming that the killings never happened or that they were the actual victims who were being genocided by their subjects.

I don't think the victims of the first genocide of the 20th century would be very pleased with being compared to screeching men in dresses who believe that people who don't cater to their whims are literally committing genocide. Trannies, who are overwhelmingly white, middle class and heterosexual, live comfortably compared to many other demographics and can cry genocide behind a screen in their dingy little rooms. Many of the Ottomans' subjects did not have that luxury throughout its reign. This was an atrocity that made Hitler believe he could get away with the holocaust and yet troons think that somehow what's "happening" to them is actually in any way at all comparable.

A grim thought.
Every day Penny comes home tired after a hard day’s drywalling, no dinner on the table.
Kevin has managed to fuck up watering the alpacas again. He had one job.

And of course, there’s the thinning of the herd to attend to before he can relax.

 

[M3xus]

Maybe the young they're taking away are that night's dinner. It would help explain why the alpacas are shielding and hiding their young.

 

[Amphotericin B]

No sane woman would post a pic of a her tacticool fashion accessories covered in dog hair and grime.

A person’s ancestors plight isn’t inherited, and their suffering shouldn’t be exploited for tough guy points. Penny doesn’t speak Armenian, he probably hasn’t visited there. It’s not much different from stolen valor, actually it’s worse because US military service is voluntary and no one volunteered to be fucked over by the Turks.

No one is trying to kill Penny, if someone was Penny would be at a police station submissively asking for help. His biggest delusion is that he’s worth catching charges for.

Let's not forget that this asshole is also perpetrating the genocide of the Alpacas, possibly the cutest and fuzziness livestock. Someone arm THEM for godsake.

 

[Näkki]

Alright, as one of the alpaca whisperers here, I definitely know what I'll do once the tranch finally goes under. Maybe a thank you for everything I've learned in this one thread alone.

Will I ever dry wall? No, I'm from Europe. Will I ever have guns? Probably, but I'm from Europe. Will I ever have alpacas now even after taking courses and working at an alapaca farm? No, because I'm not a moron and from Europe. Will I get drunk? Yes of fucking course, yaddi yadda Europe, yaddi ya.

I have learned things here and I wish to give back. If only as a farewell to this hotspot of daily entertainment.


I'll go have some stupid alpaca walk with actual healthy and well socialised alpacas. I'll take pictures for you guys since we've now collectively suffered enough. In a healthy environment too. You might just see trees and bushes and grass. Mind blowing.

Might just document how alpacas here live and how they're treated. Of course, if there's any interest.

 

[Oxyjen]

PL but some alpacas live near me, just a few, in verdant surroundings. I stop in and see them occasionally, and feel sad for their poor old malnourished sisters in their dusty lot.

Same. Just a village over. I already processed some of their wool last year. Amazing for the prize I got it at. Every single time I look to see which pasture they're out on. My day improves every day I catch a glimpse.

More sadness; I always wanted alpacas so badly. Straight up took handling courses with exams and whatnot at some of our biggest farms. Out here tho, they're easily 2k+. There isn't even a meat market yet because of the Insanity of prices. While alpaca meat is actually quite lean and healthy, it simply can't be imagined with the price per animal and their long pregnancies. Lacking fresh blood everywhere on top..

This thread made me realize that no matter how badly I'd like some, it's simply a fucking stupid idea. Maybe once I'm older and whatnot, but ehh. Just considering how much wool I got from them last year, and the price.. Its easily recognisable as a huge economic mistake. A little herd for fun? Maybe. Anything else is truly fucking stupid.

It would have been better to put these alpacas down before giving them to these worthless troons to die in misery.

We're relying on their numbers for that and troons lie even when there's no reason for it.
