Bill and Lou, two oxen who have been worked by Green Mountain College (GMC) in Poultney for the past 10 years, will be killed any day now.
Lou suffered a minor injury, and instead of allowing him and his companion to retire to VINE Sanctuary - where they would receive loving care as well as top-quality veterinary care - the college has elected to slaughter them and serve them up in their cafeteria.
Since the time VINE's offer was refused, there has been quite a bit of confusion regarding the facts of the situation. We would like readers to know a few things.
VINE Sanctuary has repeatedly requested dialogue with decision makers at the school. We have been ignored or refused every time.
