TRUE STORY


Carl
Hulsey was determined to turn his white billy goat, Snowball, into a watchdog, whether Snowball wanted to be one or not. To that end, 77-year-old Hulsey, a retired poultry worker from Canton, Georgia, took to beating Snowball with a stick to make him more aggressive. "Pa, this goat's going to kill you if you keep that up," Alma Hulsey warned her husband. She was right.

On 16 May 1991, Hulsey once again approached the goat, brandishing a stick. This time Snowball landed the first blow. The 110-pound goat attacked his tormentor, butting Hulsey in the stomach, twice knocking him down. Hulsey scrambled onto the porch in an effort to get away. The goat bounded up the steps after him. While Alma Hulsey watched, Snowball rammed his master over the edge. Hulsey fell to the ground five feet below and died where he landed. "Blunt trauma to the abdominal cavity," said the coroner. Snowball had ruptured Hulsey's stomach.

As a dangerous animal who might harm another, by rights Snowball should have been put down. Once the goat's story was known, however, the officials who were to decide Snowball's fate were inundated with pleas to spare the creature. More than 500 protesters from around the nation called Cherokee County animal control after it was announced Snowball might be put to death. Many offered to adopt Snowball.

Some even made death threats. "What happens to the goat happens to you," one caller reportedly warned. There was also talk of a bomb being planted if the goat didn't walk.

Snowball got his reprieve. He was turned over to Noah's Ark, a private animal shelter for neglected and abused animals in Locust Grove, a little town south of Atlanta. Four hours after his arrival, he was laid on a kitchen table and neutered, an operation intended to make him less aggressive. He was also rechristened "Snow".

Why this furor over a goat and the seeming lack of concern for the man whose life it had ended? In the small community Hulsey had been part of, he was well and truly mourned. Yet outside that pocket of acquaintance, sentiment ran the other way -- many animal lovers saw a certain divine justice in his fate. He'd brought harm to an animal, and the animal had struck back.

just researched it.
it is in fact bullshit:

i'm an animal lover and hate to say this, but
the goat should have been killed.
i know it wasnt the animal's fault, but it was beaten into
becoming dangerous. at that point the only safe thing to
do would be to put it down.

that man got what he deserved, but he also created a killer.
i doubt a goat has the mental capacity to rationalise from that point
that it is wrong to attack a human with exception to that one time.

TRUE STORY

This story was told to me by a friend who heard it on the news on the radio about a year or so ago. It is a factual account.
There was a girl and she was baby-sitting. The parents had gone out to a very big party and had left this infant at home with this sixteen-year-old girl. So she was babysitting and they phoned just to see if everything was all right. She said, "Oh, fine. Everything's great. The turkey's in the oven. The mother went, "Oh, okay, fine," and she hung up. Then she looked at her husband and went, "The turkey's in the oven? We didn't have a turkey!" He said, "What's the matter?" So they decided they had better go home and see what was the matter. Maybe there was something wrong with the babysitter.

They excused themselves from the party and went home. So they walked in the house and saw the baby-sitter sitting in the chair freaking out. She had put the little infant in the oven and had thought it was a turkey.

A rich elderly lady from Harrogate was taking her pet poodle for a walk when they were caught in a downpour. Rushing back inside, fretful for her pampered pet, she was desperate to dry him out and warm him up as soon as possible. So she took him straight into the kitchen, opened the door of her daughter's new microwave cooker for the first time, and thrust him in, moving the dial to a moderate setting. She patted his head and carefully closed the door with a click.

The old lady was still drying her hair when the cooked dog exploded, ripping the door off the microwave.

The most horrible tale I remember concerned "the little boy who wet." Depending on the version, he was two or three years old. Despite scoldings, he resisted toilet training until his exasperated mother warned: "If you don't learn, I'm going to cut if off."

Unfortunately, she was overheard by the boy's older sister. So one day, when the children's mother was away, the boy wet again, and the girl took up a pair of shears and cut it off. He almost bled to death.

Oh man. I saw a video of a little girl getting something like that squeezed zit-style out of her neck.

And another video possibly with a maggot, video was blurry, pulled out of a guy's leg. The thing was like a white, slightly larger cocktail weiner. Quite possibly the grossest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Kind of a lame episode of Mythbusters if I remember... *looks it up* Episode 9: Chicken Gun, Octopus Egg Pregnancy, Killer Washing Machine I was wrong. That episode rocked.

I really dont think these are the kind of storys people want to hear about.

Man Napalm why do you have to keep posting these gruesome storys? I think that most people here are aware these things go on all the time. we dont need to be reminded about it though.

before you quote and argue a point, try reading it in its entirety.
you just may find, upon actually reading it, that i fully agree.
but since the goat has been trained to kill, it's now dangerous.
the goat wasnt at fault, but it was conditioned to be a weapon
by the ass hole it killed. damage done

any attempt to lable a story as "not bullshit" instantly renders it bullshit.

i especially love "this is true because it happened to a friend of my cousin's boyfriend's uncle's landlord's former college roomate's accountant" and nonesense of this nature.

napalm, if you have an urban legend and you want to find out if its true,
simply go to http://www.snopes.com/ and use the search option. they took alot of time to research every legend and prove it to be true or false.

it sure beats looking like a fool, spamming the forum, and annoying everyone, doesnt it?

Now this is the kind of thread that I dont mind seeing you make Napalm.Its not depressing because nothing bad happened to the goat.Your other threads were depressing and thats the kind of news that people really dont need to know about since they are aware that those kinds of things happen everyday.this had a happy ending so these are the kind of threads you should create.

Yeah but just because some jerk owner made him mean,that doesnt mean he should be put down.the goat CAN be reformed to be nice again you know. The ******* got what he deserved.

reformed?

dude, the goat has killed a human.
i KNOW he deserved it, and i KNOW that the
goat doesnt deserve to die. but sometimes
unfair decisions have to be made in order to
assure safety.

like i said, i am an animal lover.
but if a dog/cat/any animal is beaten into becoming vicious,
its never 'reformed' after, no matter how much
love and attention you give it. sure it can mellow out,
but the option of killing is then forever in its brain, always.

Oh goody, Urban Legends - Fun

A young lady is alone in her apartment. She goes to bed with her dog on the floor beside her. In the middle of the night, she is woken up by a strange sound. She is alarmed, but reaches down to the dog, who licks her hand. She is reassured and goes back to sleep.

In the morning, she finds the dog hung in the shower. Where the dog slept, she picks up a note which reads "Humans can lick too."

yeah but again it was a human that deserved it though.No way should he be put down just because the owner was an ******* and made him that way.as long as the new owner is aware of what the goat did and uses caution when being around it,then that would be just plain wrong to put down the goat just because an owner made him mean.

A guy's friends throw him a 21st birthday party. They get him drunk and then a hotel room and a prostitute for his present. In the morning when this guy wakes up the prostitute is gone. When he goes to the bathroom, written on the mirror with lipstick is:

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF AIDS!

^ damn thats ****ed up urban legends are scary

Dont know how genuine this article is, but here read it.

Do not accept anything from strangers

You may think the above heading has nothing to do with consumer affairs. On the contrary, it is highly relevant and in line with the consumers' right to be informed, so I feel morally obliged to inform you.

Ironically, telling our children not to accept sweets from strangers is no longer limited to children. I must warn you too not to accept similar offers from strangers.

This is a true story that happened in Australia. However, it is also happening all over the world. While hoping that it will not come to Malta, it is well worth knowing about and we ought to warn people about it.

So I appeal to you to spread the word. The Australian victim in this case went to a Saturday night party. He was having a good time drinking beer when he met a girl who seemed to like him.

She invited him to go to another party. He accepted and agreed to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment. She mixed various drinks and gave him an unknown drug, which made him unconscious.

Subsequently, he woke up and found himself completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice. Indeed, he was still feeling the effects of the drugs. He looked around and realised that he was alone.

A message was written on his chest with lipstick telling him to call a quoted telephone number "...or else you'll die!" There was a telephone on a stand next to the tub. He picked it up and dialled.

A woman answered the phone. He explained the situation he was in and added that he didn't know where he was. It transpired that the woman who answered the phone was fully aware of the situation. The perpetrators know that their honest, diligent colleagues will look after the respective victims.

Sadly, this is very true and the warped way these victims are given a chance is highly disturbing. Thank God for their honest, diligent colleagues involved in saving the respective victims' lives.

Indeed, the woman who answered the phone told him to get out of the tub and check his back. He found two nine inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get back into the tub immediately, and added that a rescue team was on its way.

After being examined, it transpired that his kidneys were removed, indeed stolen. They are worth around $10,000 each on the black market.

There is a new crime ring that is targeting many victims, including business travellers. It is well organised by highly skilled personnel and well funded. It is operating in most major cities around the world and currently is very active in Sydney.

This is not a scam or something out of a science fiction novel.

It is real, documented and confirmed. Therefore, if you travel, be careful and, if your close friends travel, warn them.

Skilled doctors have been noted in the Brisbane area performing these crimes. And the military has been alerted.

yes, and look both ways when crossing the road.

thats disturbing

Whoa.......

Satan really is a woman.....

You really can't trust anyone these days.

This is a myth and it's older than the internet.

This is an urban legend originally began in the US.

A guy goes to Las Vegas searching for some fun. He goes to club meets a hot looking chick and they decide to rents room at a Casino Hotel. While the guy is getting ready in bed the Hot chick slips a drug on the guy's drink. He falls asleep and the next morning wakes up in bathtub bleeding. There is a note in the door that says "Call 911 your liver has been removed"

This has been a recurring theme in books, comic books, and movies. Just recently the film Hostel used this urban legend as a referrence....all the elements are present:

One Smoking Hot Chick
Sleeping Drug
Organ removal
Idiot wakes the next morning in a tub of Ice.

Good to know. Now I can carry on meeting Hot Chicks in their apartments.

An elderly man's wife is in the hospital. She is dying. During one visit, she unfortunately passes. The doctors pronounce her dead, but the husband refuses this as the truth. He screams "No she's not dead! I've been married to her for 55 years, i can feel her!"

He starts having terrible dreams about her disgusting corpse screaming for freedom within the coffin. They continue to get worse. The man finally snaps, and orders her grave to be dug up. They open the casket. The woman is dead, scratchmarks on the coffin ceiling.

There was a version of this legend regarding castration. But it was obvious it was just a Lorena Bobbit case.
