A peaceful alpaca farm turned into a horrific scene after a violent dog attack left three animals dead and two injured on Monday evening.
“It was just the worst nightmare ever,” Alpaca farmer Rick Derksen said.
Derksen said he rushed to his barnyard after hearing his alpacas’ cries for help.
“They make a distinctive distress call, kind of like a tropical bird, so that's what called me to the barn, but this was more screaming consistently,” he said.
He said he found one alpaca dead outside the barn, while another was being attacked by two dogs inside the barn.
“The dogs attacked the head, the neck, and then one was eating the back out of the alpaca while it was alive,” he said.
