Goats Found Mutilated At California High School (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

Investigators are scrambling for clues after mysterious attacks mutilated two pregnant goats at a California high school in separate incidents last week, CBS Sacramento reported.

Early last week officials at Lindhurst High School in Olivhurst, Calif. found Angel, a goat for the agricultural program, horribly disfigured in an outdoor pen. Her nose was so badly slashed that she struggled to breathe.

The remaining goats were moved by Friday to locked cages for protections, because it was assumed that dogs had rumbled with Angel. But on Saturday morning two students saw that another goat, Brownie, had been attacked. Bite marks covered her body and her ears had been ripped off.

Students in the agriculture program believe criminals are behind the gruesome attacks, because Brownie was in a locked corral, making it virtually impossible for an animal to get in.

While students and faculty suspect human involvement, Yuba County Sherrif Lt. Damon Giltold told Sacramento's ABC News 10 that it's too soon to tell.

"We're undetermined right now if it's a criminal act or if some loose animals were able to make their way into the enclosure."

The student's have paid for medical care for the two wounded nannies with funds from their projects, ABC News 10 said.

Officials from the high school say they should know within the month if the attacks will cause the expectant goats to miscarry their kids.

Warning: video is graphic.

Sounds more like dogs (possibly those trained to fight) were let into the enclosures with a bit of human help.

This is sad and I hope it was not people who perpetuated the damage to the goats.

Bet they won't go back in there if you put a Sentry Gun in there with em! (Paintballs and another to shoot a net on the suspect.)

That is how mass murders start out, harming animals...find them and cut off their ears...without anesthesia...

California Mountain Lions can cut twine, and are smart enough to find a way to get in. Also, if it were human beings doing the mutilation they are probably mentally ill or involved in a ritual towards Blood lust or dark occult of some sort. No one in their right mind would attack a goat.

If it were Mountain Lions those goats would be dead and if it were some type of ritual, they would more than likely be dead as well...

I hope it was dogs or some other animals, if not, then you have a serial killer in the making.

That is horrific. Here in Michigan the DNR would have motion sensor cameras up and surveying around the animal enclosure. They catch countless poachers and deer baiting hunters every year, I'm sure they can find a couple teenagers...if they are dumb enough to strike again.

This is disgusting, anyone who would hurt a poor animal like that needs to be locked up for life. This story made me sick.

This falls just short of an honor killing.
