Texas Teens Allegedly Confess to Beheading, Shooting Llamas
By PATRICK CLARKE Jun 3, 2016, 4:35 PM ET
Two teens are in police custody after authorities say they confessed to the March 5 shooting of a llama, and the beheading of another.
The pair of 16-year-old boys were charged Thursday with one count each of animal cruelty and two counts each of misdemeanor criminal mischief, police said.
"Just when you think you've heard it all, along comes a bizarre case that makes you wonder what goes through people's minds, especially young people," Constable Alan Rosen told ABC's Houston station KTRK-TV.
The juveniles allegedly carried out the attack against the llamas, named Lorenzo and La Tida, on a ranch in Cypress, Texas, called Figment Ranch.

I'm glad they've been caught!
As a side note - the ABC News article says "La Tida was a show-quality AQHA halter champion llama" - uh, I think not. AQHA = American Quarter Horse Association. The likely meant ALSA which is the Alpaca and Llama Show Association, Inc.
