And now for something completely different -- LEOs taser a cow

I stumbled upon this news story this morning:

Brilliant move! I think that the bovine must have been hearing impaired as he was clearly reported to have been warned twice by the 2 Deputy Barny Phifes. Let's hope that it was not an illegal, oops, I mean, undocumented bovine that didn't speak english! The aclu wwill have a heyday with these leo's.

What were they going to do with the cow after they tasered her? Read her her rights and handcuff her? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I'd really like to watch them take them off afterwards!

What were they going to do with the cow after they tasered her?

I believe they were going to cite her for a mooo-ving violation.

For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.

I have a high way crossing our property. And cows on both sides with good fences. If it isn't cars breaking down the fences driving off the road. or trees falling some times dogs chasing the cattle. the cows will stay inside. Then when one gets out just a 5 gal. bucket and slow walking they usually will walk to gate and go inside. 3 months ago a cow was out and I was using this method to return cow and a pick stopped to help. No problem except he put on hazard blinker lights so other cars stopped some steped out of car to watch then a "Blond" started to pass 5 vehices with people standing beside waving to slow her down . Just before completing the passing a truck flat bed trailer with 30 tires on the pavement came from other direction and almost creamed her and with out touching her brakes continued down the road. The smoke of the trucks tires and horn scared the cow to force her into the field through the wires.
There is no way all see the same problem as a condition ot make a change.

Here's a link to a video of a rodeo bull that escaped from the Houston Stock Show Rodeo. About 45 seconds into the video, a cop runs in and tasers the bull and almost gets run over by it.:laughing:
