Who knew Nativity scenes were so dangerous?

In the letter to Armstrong, Vergerio shared some sad fates of previous nativity animals – like Brighty the donkey, snatched from a nativity scene in Virginia and beaten by three young men. Ernie the camel fled a creche in Maryland but was struck and killed by a car. Two sheep and a donkey had to be euthanized after a dog mauling at a manger scene in Virginia.
