“They had been drinking, and they just basically wanted to see what it would be like to kill an animal, to kill a llama,” Union County Sheriff’s Capt. J.C. Luke told the Observer.

Sheriff’s deputies said the 300-pound llama, named Mighty, had been chased around, cornered, stabbed to death and cut in half.
