FLEMING ISLAND, Fla. -- A community alpaca in Florida has died after someone repeatedly fed the animal Doritos, Cheese Nips, and peanuts, according to officials at Creekside Animal Hospital.
"It is with a heavy heart that we want to inform our clients and friends... that our youngest alpaca that was born out on the shared field over a year ago has passed away," the hospital wrote on Facebook.
According to the statement, an unknown man who drives a blue car would regularly dump human food into the field. The hospital says they warned the man on multiple occasions, but he did not stop.
Workers at the animal hospital said this is the first time the man dumped peanuts in the field and the alpaca apparently "overindulged."
Workers said the other animals will likely be relocated to a new field because they are unable to protect them from strangers dumping junk food in the field.
