Police say a dead longhorn cow was found on the lawn of an Oklahoma State University fraternity on Friday, the day before the school’s football team plays the University of Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 championship game.

Police were notified just after 6:30 a.m. of the dead animal on the lawn of FarmHouse fraternity, according to Stillwater police Officer TJ Low.

The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.

“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman. “Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap.”

    It’s funny that people think this is cruelty to animals, but they don’t think killing tens of millions of cattle a year for food is cruelty to animals.

    Then there is the hundred of millions of pigs killed a year for food.

      Huge difference between killing for food and killing to show off your failed ethical values.
      The cougar is not cruel to the rabbit. It was just hungry.
      P.S. you and I are just mammals. so we do it like they used to on the discovery channel.

        Not as huge as it seems when we know we don’t have to kill for food.

        Also, the west eats a good deal more meat than needed for living.

          Nothing, has to kill for food. All predators could be scavengers. But they are not. Well, sadly that isn’t up to you.
