Green Mountain College Delays Killing Its Oxen

Posted: Updated:
POULTNEY, Vt. -

Although Green Mountain College leaders say they planned to kill their mascots by Wednesday, they're still alive.

In an email from GMC's president to students he says Bill and Lou, the school's oxen, haven't been slaughtered because local companies are receiving threatening messages.

One of the animals injured its leg and the school decided to have both of them killed and use the meat to feed students.

College leaders still want to go through with the plan, but haven't set a new deadline for when that will be.
