This is Alpacaschwitz. Troonblinka is the death camp run by the disgraced founders of TLL.
They took too many in and the Alpaca's ate the roots of the grass. They had no actual fucking knowledge of animal husbandry, basic gardening, soil science, or farming in general. It was basically a few spoiled kids, a loser from the military, and abused women fucking around and hoarding animals.
A kiwi gets a Dept of Agri chart and figured the Tranch could sustainably support about 3 Alpaca. They had 200-some Alpaca at peak (or I guess I should say per tranch social media posting, received 200+, RIP mass-grave Alpaca)
The Alpaca starvation-chewed the grass and trampled it. The morons also brought in sheep, so even if they had kept the land at sustainable levels of alpaca density, the sheep would have chewed down the grass to the point the alpaca couldn't feed on it.
If you have like 1000 acres of grazing land, you can herd rotation where your top grazers go into a pasture, then the sheep, then you rest the land to let the grass regrow, but the Tranch was on marginal scrub and they made no effort to separate the animals.
In terms of organized depravity, this is takes the cake. How could these fucking faggots be so cruel and callous to these guys?

Give MATI, I don't care, I hope every troon is wiped off the face of the Earth. Thats the only thing that could avenge these Alpaca's.
It would be understandable if it was llamas. Those spiting, biting little bastards would deserve it.
Someone on twitter came up with a different theory on why they died. Well ultimately it's a different form of neglect, and just another way they had no clue what they were doing

As they say, there was potentially a profitable business there, but it would have involved hours of boring drudge work preparing the wool, and far fewer of those ladies coffee mornings.
The worm thing makes perfect sense, especially with rescue alpaca showing up regularly.
and of course anything that requires work the Tranchers wouldn't be doing.
Profitability is a lie though. Well, a misstatement.
Alpaca fiber isn't profitable; it could be, but the market is too small and niche. It is TOO warm and IIRC doesn't have the lanolin sheath that gives wool its desireable properties (bacterial/fungal resistance and insulates-when-wet). Also while you can blend wool (or put it on an acryllic lattice to limit shrinkage and promote stretching) to create "washing machine-tolerate" wool fabrics, you cannot do that with alpaca wool. Dry-clean only.
There are two types of Alpaca wool (that must be sorted, making it more expensive to process) and unless you are a subsistance herder in the andes, you only want the soft inner fiber that can only be harvested every two years.
Its technically profitable if you do the entire operation yourself, but you don't want to look at what your hourly wage would be. And the tranchers couldn't be assed to properly clean their wool.
