Cows are being credited with helping cops catch a fugitive when they led officers directly to his hiding spot, according to the Town of Boone Police Department in western North Carolina. Their motive remains a mystery, but officers suspect the cows were annoyed by the trespasser. It happened Tuesday, May 9, as Boone police and Watauga County sheriff??s deputies were chasing a man who fled a traffic stop, town officials wrote on Facebook. ??The suspect abandoned his vehicle in the area of US (Highway) 421 and US (Highway) 221 in Deep Gap and fled into an undeveloped area. Due to the suspect??s fast and reckless driving our officers were not close enough to see exactly where the suspect ran,? officials said. ??As officers began to search the area they received some unexpected, but welcomed assistance from some local cows. Apparently cows do not want suspected criminals loitering in their pasture and quickly assisted our officers by leading them directly to where the suspect was hiding.? The 34-year-old man was charged with felony fleeing and eluding officers, driving with a revoked license and disorderly conduct, officials said. Bond was set at $20,000. ??Obviously, we want to express our gratitude to the cows for their assistance. This opens up all kinds of questions as to the bovines?? role in crime fighting,? the town wrote. ??Honestly, it is something that we have not considered before now. As we examine the obvious next steps of incorporating a Bovine Tracking Unit into our department??s law enforcement capabilities there are many factors that we will have to consider. ... Are cows more cost effective than K-9 dogs?? Boone is about 115 miles northwest of Charlotte.

If that won't turn you vegan nothing will.
PS - The cow guru was referred to as "he"...anatomical depiction indicated otherwise. So much for pronouns, eh?
Transcow
I'm a really old fart with an antique attitude and don't care what appendages or orifice are added or removed from anything. In my world it's either he, she or it. And besides it's too hard to remember who is what anyway.

Somebody's going to jail.
Many years ago a kid was in line at the county fair with his show heifer when the heifer behind him leaped on him, as if to mount him. Knocked him to the concrete hard enough that it knocked him out. He came to in an ambulance as they were taking him to a hospital. That kid is now 50 years old.
Never knew they did that. I don't hang out with cows much anyway so no worries. This is what they do here in World World for fun.
“We are so excited to host our Gatorpalooza festival again for the 4th year and roll out Gatorland’s unique style of fun and excitement during this special weekend event,” said Mark McHugh, president and CEO of Gatorland. “Gatorland is filled with more alligators than any other attraction in Florida, but it’s also filled with crazy ‘Florida-Style Entertainment,’ too! Now you can see both in action with our 3rd annual ‘Florida Man Challenge.’ On Saturday May 20th, watch as our brave and somewhat crazy competitors climb into giant inflatable Zorb balls and race through a real swamp swarming with giant alligators! It’s the kind of sporting event that makes the rest of the world shake their heads and say, ‘Only in Florida,’ while everyone in Florida just shakes their heads and says, ‘Only at Gatorland.’”
Yee Haw!
