Cows were running free in Pocatello, Idaho, Tuesday, following in the hooves of a feisty heifer that escaped from a meat packing plant Friday. The pursuit of that cow made national headlines; five cows have now broken out of the plant in the past four days.
Two cows remain at large, part of a cohort of at least four animals that made a run for it Sunday. Their escape came two days after a 1,000-pound cow broke out by reportedly jumping a 6-foot fence.
Of the five cows, one was captured and taken back to Anderson Custom Pack in Pocatello. Two others have been shot – including the heifer that had escaped on Friday.
That cow did not go quietly, rushing at plant co-owner Jesse Anderson (leaving him with two broken ribs) and leading animal control officers on a long chase through residential areas. Video reports from Friday show the cow trotting through yards.
Nobody with any common sense wants to take a bullet to the brain. “Eat more chicken.”
Talk about mad cows. Mad as hell, and they’re not gonna take it any more….
There’s a huge metaphor lurking here.
If exploited cows are smart and brave enough to revolt, why aren’t exploited humans?
Meanwhile, the video has been removed.
Wouldn’t want to give the ungrateful masses any ideas, would we?
