An 8-year-old girl watched in horror as a berserk llama attacked her mother, Terrebonne, Oregon resident Nancy Campbell, around 6pm Monday. according to a report in the Bend Bulletin.
The animal, suffering from "Berserk Llama Syndrome" had escaped its enclosure five days earlier. It attacked Campbell as she was jogging. She fought it off, then kept her body between the marauding beast and her daughter, whom she instructed to ride home on her bike.
No one was seriously injured, but it took five people to hold the 250 pound llama until the Humane society arrived. The animal was humanely euthanized.
