Did this cow really deserve to die?

A Cow's Final Bid for Freedom

Police and animal control officers ended up chasing one die-hard bovine all over downtown Garden City, Kan., Tuesday afternoon after it made a desperate dash for freedom while headed to the slaughterhouse, according to the Garden City Telegram.

Baffled city residents watched the 20-minute chase unfold.

"I thought it was a big dog at first," Elizabeth Pardo, who was washing a customer's hair at San Juan Beauty Salon when the four-legged fugitive ran by, told the Telegram. "Then I was like, 'Is that a cow?'"

A city worker managed to rope the cow, only to have it yank him out of his truck. Police then tried to coral the wily beast — which rammed the vehicles, leaving a cow-head-sized dent in the side of one, and got away.

The cow was finally lassoed and it took seven men to hold the lively animal down before it was loaded into a trailer.

"That was interesting," Garden City Police Officer Courtney Prewitt told the Telegram. "Only in Garden City."

I hate to tell you this, but they can't make "HIM" a milk cow!!! he just wouldn't have the right "equipment."

I said yes, I want a hamburger now!

The only way I could see it being useful alive is in a rodeo... but maybe that's because my exile in TX is growing on me... nah!

As someone from Kansas I say it was wrong. They should have let the cow live, and then do a re-encatment every year with the cow. I mean thats tourism dollars there.

They can always re-enact it with a different cow next year.

Yes, yes I do. But apparently you're feeling the need to milk them for all they're worth.
