Thank you for caring. I will now send this petition to the college. I have just heard some very sad news: Lou has, apparently, been killed. Some say that he was "euthanized" but I am not so sure. I think that he may have actually been slaughtered.
However, there is still at least SOME hope for Bill. As far as I am aware, he is still alive at the moment. Although he is probably grieving for his brother, and may never stop grieving, it would still be terrible if he were to be killed as well.

Petition Background (Preamble):
Lou and Bill are two oxen that used to work on the college farm for ten years before Lou got injured and is now unable to work. Bill is unable to pull the plough on his own.
Although they now have other oxen as well, and an animal sanctuary has agreed to take them, the college are now planning on slaughtering these two oxen.
If this happens, their deaths may involve paralysis by bolt gun or electric tongs followed brutal killings involving cuts to their throats. Since the college plans on serving their meat on the site, they may end up as half-eaten meals thrown away in the college bins.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, demand that the innocent animals known as Lou and Bill be sent to the VINE Sanctuary as opposed to a slaughterhouse.
We do not want these two oxen, who have worked so hard on the college farm and, possibly built great friendships with each other, the students and, possibly, some of the staff, to be slaughtered.
