In Memory
| In Memory: "Bam Bam" Non-Registered Gelding DOB: 3/29/2003 Dam: Barbie PC87 Sire: Unknown Color: Medium Brown Bam Bam was an unregistered male we rescued. He had been bottle fed as a cria and was thought to be aggressive towards humans. We took him in, gelded him, and never had an ounce of trouble out of him. Once we gained his trust, he proved to be a loving and respectful alpaca. He loved carrots and would follow you anywhere to get one. He grew into one of the best PR alpacas I have ever seen. Sadly, we lost Bam Bam on Monday, November 2, 2009 to a careless hunter's bullet. He was taken down with one shot from a high powered rifle that nicked his aorta. There is no hunting of that kind allowed on any of the property around the farm, so someone must have been hunting illegally. I believe that due to his color and size, someone mistook him for a deer and purposefully shot at him. I hope others will learn from his death. Please be careful if you live in any area surrounded by woods. He did not deserve to die. A police report was filed, but the police could not do anything because the people weren't caught in the act. He will always hold a special place in our hearts. He came to us on his way to living a life of solitude and became a wonderful part of our herd and family. He is and forever will be truly missed! |
