What can you say about an elderly llama that died?

Besides "don't dump it in the street":

(AP) A dead llama found in the streets has left city officials wondering how the South American animal ended up abandoned in an urban area.

At first, East Oakland residents assumed the 400-pound animal with black and white spots was a horse and called the city's animal control department to report the find.

"At first it looked like a horse _ all we saw was a head sticking out from a tarp," said Andrew Gordon, with Oakland's Animal Control Field Services. "But I looked at it closely, and I said, 'Look at the ears _ that's a llama.' "

The llama's legs were tied up and it was covered with a tarp, but it appears to have died of old age, Gordon said.

I hope it is no one we know, but I am suspicious about the bondage angle.

If it was a llama then it was probably just what it seems.. an elderly dead llama.. but if it was an Alpaca.. they're real sluts.. Check it's laptop. It was probably hooking up with some weirdo from a BDSM chatroom.. Wouldnt be the first Alpaca to die that way..

Sorry.. that was very un-PC of me.. The above SHOULD read " MANY (but not all) Alpacan Americans are sluts..." Broad generalizations.. Perpetuating stereotypes.. I don't know what got into me...

Steve-O at the Llama Butchers says we should make memorial donations to the Camelid Regional Asphyxiophilia Association of Peru, and we all know what that means.

Sounds like a lot of craap to me.

Hopefully it's not a new Raiders tailgating ritual. But you never know... strange things are afoot at football games now
