Canned Sheep
Sounding Stone knew when Catskill Game Farm announced it's auction that the animals would be given to the highest bidder regardless of the buyer's intent. But the local media coverage almost convinced me the Schulz family was trying to find good homes and mostly focused on the sad demise of a family vacation playground. Apparently, they didn't recall the glass-eyed stare of bored, listless, feces-encrusted animals from their childhood. To be fair, Boom Boom the white rhino made a good story when bought and resold to rescuers. Here's a little coverage before and after sale... I'd like to meet the guy who stuffed the ten alligators into the back of his SUV.
