Yup... ELEVEN TIMES - to kill a COW! Can't help but think of THIS.SACRAMENTO, CA - Cal Expo officials said it was justified, but others at the California State Fair wondered if it was necessary for fair police to shoot and kill a pregnant cow Tuesday morning after the animal broke free at the state fairgrounds.
According to fair officials, UC Davis veterinarian staff were unloading the cow in the livestock area around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday when the bovine broke free and headed toward the fairgrounds. The dairy cow was supposed to give birth Wednesday and be a part of the Livestock Nursery attraction, Cal Expo deputy director Brian May said.
May said Cal Expo police were able to contain the animal in a tunnel, but before she could be tranquilized, the cow got free and headed into the fairgrounds.
"We spent more than an hour trying to coax her into a trailer," May said.
Eventually, police cornered her in front of the Golden1 performance stage, where they said she charged an officer after a tranquilizer gun misfired.
