Police say a dead longhorn cow was found on the lawn of an Oklahoma State University fraternity on Friday, the day before the school’s football team plays the University of Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 championship game.
Police were notified just after 6:30 a.m. of the dead animal on the lawn of FarmHouse fraternity, according to Stillwater police Officer TJ Low.
The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.
“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman. “Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap.”
Here’s similar statement from an article I found.
Kennedy Thomason, a reporter for The O’Colly, told _WFAA that she speculates this to be a prank from a rival fraternity. She was first on the scene, and her pictures of the steer before it was hauled off have been widely shared.
“I can’t confirm that, but from my own opinion, yeah, that’s what I would say.”_

The original statement I made originated from a local OSU podcast. I’m not sure where that was from and can’t source it. __
Edit: For what it’s worth “The O’Colly” looks like Oklahoma State’s student newspaper?
