Back-to-back shootings of pregnant livestock odd, but not linked, authorities say

The shooting deaths of two pregnant animals on different farms are odd, but not related, authorities say. Cpl. John Macdonald of the Maine Warden Service said he couldn’t recall the last time an animal was found dead of an apparently intentional gunshot wound — let alone two in the same week. The animals were reported dead three days apart, on different farms about 100 miles away from each other. The Warden Service is not investigating links between a bullet found lodged in the head of an expectant cow on a Madison farm, and the shooting of a pregnant goat in Scarborough, MacDonald said. [Popular Maine farm says someone shot pregnant goat] “Just the method of how these things took place — they’re not the same,” Macdonald said, declining to explain further because the shootings are under investigation. Farmer Clayton Tibbetts reported his slain cow to the Warden Service on Sunday, when a local taxidermist he had turned the body over to discovered a bullet in her head while removing her hide, Tibbetts said.

Fire sale commences? Marlins pull Arraez from lineup before game in Oakland, set on shipping batting champ to Padres
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Friday - 05/03/2024 - 10:13 PM
By JANIE McCAULEY (AP Baseball Writer) OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Miami Marlins are working on a trade that would send second baseman and reigning NL batting champion Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres. The Marlins said Friday that the deal was pending a review of medical information before it could be finalized and formally announced. “When a guy like that is taken out of the lineup or potentially traded, you feel it, because he’s such a good kid and one of the leaders in that clubhouse,” manager Skip Schumaker said, “so there’s definitely a shock value.” There was also some shock in the Padres’ clubhouse after their 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Friday night, though it was for happier reasons. “It’s really amazing — that guy is a baller,” San Diego slugger Fernando Tatis Jr.
