Is it permissible to throw magazines and newspapers that contain the word "Allah" to goats and sheep?
The name of God Almighty must be respected and revered, as Allah states: "And whoever honors the sacred rites of Allah - it is better for him in the sight of his Lord," and "And whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts." It is best to dispose of magazines and newspapers containing ذكر (remembrance of Allah) by burning or shredding and tearing them, and not to give them to livestock, as that would be a form of disrespect.
