It's terrible. All those trolls that would intentionally kill the lambs solely to get a reaction out of people, how will they grief now?

Most likely the change was due to the drama it was causing, drama that went both ways. The majority of times the lambs were killed prematurely on my server it was done by the same 3-4 people who were only there to troll. They liked to openly admit as such, so no they weren't just there for the seals/being misunderstood. And those said people would do it for hours on end, day after day, so lets not pretend the foul language directed towards the lamb killers was a one way streak.
