Cow Escapes Meat Plant, Dodges SUV, Train ...

My New Year's resolution 2 years ago was to stop eating beef, because I feel it's wrong in many ways. So here's the hero of the day:

<snip>"A cow that escaped a slaughterhouse dodged vehicles, ran in front of a train, braved the icy Missouri River and took three tranquilizer darts before being recaptured six hours later. News of the heifer's adventures prompted a number of people to offer to buy the animal.

The black, 1,200 pound heifer jumped a gate at the packing plant at around 5 a.m. Thursday and apparently wandered through residential areas. Police received reports at about 9:30 a.m. that it was in the middle of a busy intersection.

Police tried to catch the cow, and had her wedged between a stock trailer and a fence, but the heifer barreled through the fence toward the river, nearly being hit by a Chevrolet Suburban."

1. The animals are rebelling. Didn't a huge pig jump out of a truck

headed for a slaughterhouse a couple of months ago?

I think the animals are banding together and will soon subjugate us.

2. Well, I hope they let her live just for all that effort.

If I had the money I'd buy her myself. :(
