DCist was shocked to see this peculiar entry in the Post’s Animal Report. Devoid of contextual detail, it makes us wonder what exactly is going on in the Fort Totten woods.

Police reported that a male lamb had been found in the woods, in a small crate soiled with feces. A Humane Society officer found the animal and a group of men. A candle, a bottle of liquor and a bottle of barbecue sauce were also at the scene, and a knife was confiscated from one man. The lamb was impounded at the society shelter, then taken to an animal sanctuary.

In other cute and cuddly animal news, the Post tells us that a cat on Third Street NE was trapped in a tree, shot with 10 blow darts; a Rottweiler fell from a pickup truck in the I-395/Third Street tunnel; a woman thought that a black trash bag in her couch was snake; and an Akita was found chained inside a van in Mount Pleasant wearing a collar that shocked the dog whenever it barked.
