He's coming right at us!

Why do they always talk of animals being "destroyed", but after an execution they don't say the criminal was destroyed? I think it has a nice ring to it.

Don't be fooled, Timmy. If the cow had a chance, he'd kill you and everyone you loved.

Subby: I've got a beef with that headline. But I'm pasture shenanigans so I won't graze a ruckus. In the future, I will steer clear from your brand of humor. I'd love to milk this for all its worth but I just herd I have an appointment to keep so I must hoof it.

That cow had tasted human blood. It was a man-eating cow.

Yeah, an animal bred for the sole purpose of being tasty and wouldn't even exist if we didn't coddle it until harvest has rights.

How much of a marksman do you have to be to shoot a cow? I'd be more impressed if it was a squirrel or a mosquito.

POLICE marksmen shot dead a cow claiming it posed "a danger to the public".



They brought in marksmen for a cow? Seems like Barney and his one bullet could've handled this.

Did the marksmen stand at a distance for safety reasons, or did they just not feel like getting out of the car?

This cow was self aware, that's all. If you were reincownated anywhere but India and retained the slimmest margin of awareness you'd act in a similar manner too.

Cows can run surprisingly fast by the way. I've been chased by a cow and it's not funny.

It certainly would be to watch.

We met a donkey-cart-rocket-launcher (DCRL) at the Al Rasheed hotel one day.

That was super awesome.

/Never met a cow I cudn't hit with bullet, or at least graze.

I don't doubt that. I think it was more scary because I didn't react immediately I was more lost in thought about whether a cow was really chasing me and what did it intend to do if it caught me. Like, I know that a bear will chase me and I know why and what will happen if it catches me, cow, I have no freaking idea. Bite and stomp me?

Damn. Can't beat that.

This story is gonna get milked for all it's worth. I think the subby has a steak in the outcome. Sadly dead, Mr. Death-By-Cop Cow has moooved on to a better, more succulent place. He happily hoofed it up the big white staircase to heaven.

Now you're catching on!! The Sun's reporters write out of their dairy airs.

It was the biggest cow I ever seen. It had razor sharp teeth, and a temper like my old german shepherd when it got into my "roommate's" stash of "cocaine". If that beast had not been stopped, she could have killed hundreds, even thousands of people.

That reminds me of a Bill Mauldin cartoon. In WWII, the troops, like today, were forbidden to cause damage to civilian property if they could help it. However, cows made really tempting targets.

Joe is talking to Willie. Joe is manning a .50 cal machine gun, and you see smoke rising from the barrel.
"I could swear I saw a couple 'a krauts using that cow for cover, Willie. Go fetch the cooks."

The sidebar story about the kid lured in by a promise of poon, only to be stabbed to death is pretty farked up also.

Hey, you're lucky law enforcement is there to save us from the bovine uprising. He was CLEARLY a radical.

 
TheWizard 2008-07-06 10:39:27 AM  
no option but to humanely destroy

Look, just tell us you shot it in the farking head. Weasel words like that are why people today can't grasp the concept that the meat they buy in a supermarket was at one time living and had to be killed and butchered.

I had someone rant at me yesterday that hunting was cruel and that you should just purchase meat in a grocery store. Not that meat was cruel, meat was fine. Just killing it yourself was cruel.

 
Oldiron_79 2008-07-06 10:40:59 AM  
An animal the size of a cow that is angry can be dangerous.

Look up hunting cape buffalo.

Not easy trying to find the cow. You know what I'm talking about.

bigglady 2008-07-06 10:55:53 AM  
They shoot a frightened cow and justify it by claiming it was dangerous etc. Beh. Sometimes I think cops will use any excuse to get out the gear and act like commandoes.
