Did you guys not see the speed limit sign? How would you like for your family to hit a cow doing 80? Jesus, what a bunch of Nancys in here........
I know it was in KM..... J/K
80kph=50mph
We have cows regularly get out on the farm road where I live. They always seem to be solid black, on blind curve and when there is no moon. The sheriff acts like it's no big deal. I don't think anyone has run over one yet. I'm sure that cow could have been corralled without having to shoot it.
I've worked in "Cowtown" for 20 years and have worked countless loose stock calls. Everything from horses, cattle, goats, snakes, raccoons, opossum, llamas, dogs and cats and have never unholstered my gun.
Why hasn't this been moved to the pic/vid forum???
i dunno. It was a news article that just happened to have a youtube video. if it needs to be corralled. by all means....i just hope it doesn't take a few a mods to have to do it. :P
Wow, it wasn't even going towards them it was using it's only way out that it saw. That cop is a fucking idiot. All they had to do was corral the cow and get it into a trailer or contain it until someone who knew what they were doing showed up. The cow would have been content with getting away around the corner, the polices job when a cow is out is to simply keep it off the road. Shining lights and hitting the siren is STUPID when a cow is scared, they will charge the lights out of instinct, especially if they're blinded. All else fails chase the cow until it's tired and it won't act a fool anymore, normally after that the meat isn't worth a fuck though.
Have seen how thick a cows skull is? MM would just piss one off. 12g slug would have done it.
That's a lie, slaughter houses use .22s to the dome, enough to penetrate and not exit, turning the brain into scrambled egg.
At close range a hand gun should have been more then enough to drop the animal even though that was completely uncalled for and out of any SOP. That cop was a pussy and was scared of an animal trying to get away from him.
1 bullet or 100 bullets. I still don't see what the big deal was. In the end his fate was exactly the same and will still end up on somebody's dinner table.

Wrong.
A lot of the time if the cow is dead before it hits the slaughter house it's a waste. Atleast here in Texas where the weather is warmer.
Also, ever been bird hunting? You have to get the pellets out of the meat.
So that cop wasted that cow by pulling 10+ rounds into it's core where the meat is, do you want to eat a cow that has lead in it? Every bullet shot was more meat wasted.

I disagree. I think this was really messed up. If I worked for that department, I would be holding my head in shame. They must do things differently in Canada.

Mike's actually right about this. Meat packing plants in the US and Canada aren't allowed to accept already downed or dead cattle, much less process them.
