Brother Adam Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 A Cow's Final Bid for Freedom Police and animal control officers ended up chasing one die-hard bovine all over downtown Garden City, Kan., Tuesday afternoon after it made a desperate dash for freedom while headed to the slaughterhouse, according to the Garden City Telegram. Baffled city residents watched the 20-minute chase unfold. "I thought it was a big dog at first," Elizabeth Pardo, who was washing a customer's hair at San Juan Beauty Salon when the four-legged fugitive ran by, told the Telegram. "Then I was like, 'Is that a cow?'" A city worker managed to rope the cow, only to have it yank him out of his truck. Police then tried to coral the wily beast — which rammed the vehicles, leaving a cow-head-sized dent in the side of one, and got away. The cow was finally lassoed and it took seven men to hold the lively animal down before it was loaded into a trailer. "That was interesting," Garden City Police Officer Courtney Prewitt told the Telegram. "Only in Garden City." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 As someone from Kansas I say it was wrong. They should have let the cow live, and then do a re-encatment every year with the cow. I mean thats tourism dollars there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
