Cows Escape Cattle Truck in Canada

[DrewFloyd]

My father was one of the officers who made the call in putting down the one steer. the cow had managed to wreck property surrounding the neighbourhood and the time was approaching that many kids would be let out of school for lunch. It was a decision that my dad didnt want to make but it had to be done for the safety of the individuals in the neighbourhood...remember Serve and PROTECT!

[kuraiotoko]

uhhh They just know how to shoot a gun... sad end.

I live in Texas we know how to get cattle off the roads. But most cops dont know how. They need to add a class to police school called cow 101. I have personally gotten cattle off the road by myself and Im a woman. The most was about 20 head, turned them around and headed back to the gate on the access road of a hwy in San Antonio. The cops stayed in their cars. It was a blast!

This has nothing to do with the police officers. A lot of cities or towns have bylaws that do not allow livestock to enter out of control. Meaning if ur cow gets out and passes a certain point it's bye-bye bovine The problem is it takes a extreme heavy caliber bullet to stop a cow. The cops don't exactly carry deer slugs in there shotguns. I know were I used to take my cattle. The city had a special task force if U will to deal with exactly this type of scenario.

[Lex5151]

Oh, Canadian! You're so Canadian.

[Illuminati10101]

i don't care if they killed it or not. i do know this, you bleeding hearts would be screaming blue murder at the police if one of those bulls mowed down neighborhood kid. "All those police there why didn't you shoot it!!!!??"

[DrPepperandOreos]

30 shots to kill 1 steer? Please tell me this woman was misinformed. They have shot guns and they can't take down 1 steer?

I'm guessing these guys don't have to round up cattle often, so I'll give them that. Still, if they don't understand vitals and if they can't aim they don't need to have a gun. Much less do they need to be fooling with animals.

[blobdogy29]

If the cattle had been calmly handled the job would have been a lot easier. All they appear to do is stir the beasts up. Idiots in uniforms!

[BRUTEFORCE308]

i agree you get one cow alone and they get spooked real easy the should have got some ppl who knew how to handle cattle a bit better and this could have been avoided

[jolenemanson29]

No reason for that cow to bwshot. They coould have waited, they caught the other 2., of course they were running around they were scared, they wouldt intentionally hurt anyone.

[MudskipperLover]

The option when an animal gets dangerous always seems to be to kill it, it has NO RIGHT TO BE KILLED.

[Shahzada1prince]

I think cows just thought lets go to the park for rides but when thay came across 2many people, They must have been confused and start running on streets.

You and fellow friends on here claim that you're educated......well I'll tell you one thing I was always told only stupid people swear during educated arguements, because they can't use their brains to come up with more productive words. So if you can't even speak proper english why should anyone on here, farmers or not listen you your own self absorbed feelings. Everything on earth comes from a single cell even plants, and animals....

[mdwils]

30 fuckin shots????

good lord, one stun to take it down at the plant and these retards feel its better it went down at the hands of incompetent marksmen

[farmmo4ever]

If these idiots knew how to work with and herd cattle they wouldnt have had to shoot any of them. Its not hard to get cattle to calm down if you know what your doing. even if they are a little on the wild side.

[kaeligit]

@farmmo4ever ur right very ridiculous they are heifers not cows foolish police

[204shooter]

30 shots to kill a bovine? lol

[orbit15]

how many "innocents" took a bullet. lol B

[RANDOMATNESS]

moo moo moo moo moo - 5 stars

[horseracer79]

Great points Owensounders.

[Tallacus]

i would have shoot the beast and ask questions later

[owensounders]

Wow....city people, their lack of education. City police, they shot it, are they paying the farmer for the animal they shot, I doubt it!!!! You city people need to educate yourself about where your food comes from. What a joke!!!!!

[gilliangirl1]

That's exactly what I'm talking about. You selfish piece of shit. What's in it for me, is all you think about. You don't give a flying fuck about the animals. All you factory farmers think about is profit, profit, profit. You just proved my point, you miserable old POS.

[owensounders]

OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In this case YOU are the old one here. I grew up on a small family farm, where the animals were treated just as good as you. The name of the game for farming is to make a living and to make some money while you do it!!! Farmers right now are losing their shirts, going bankrupt and losing everything they have worked all their life for because of people just like YOU!!!!!

[ianlondeo]

Not want to be on the beef jerky smashing machine

[warren880]

lol wow 30 shots to take down a cow??? wtf were they shooting at, the cows tail? wouldnt be surprised if someone finds a shell stuck in the side of their house

[NorthernLight12]

That's really sad to watch, the last chance they had at freedom, and they didn't make it. The one who got shot was actually the lucky one compared to what the others would have to go through in the slaugtherhouse a.k.a. the torture chamber. =(

[macassa420]

The cops waste thousands of dollars on tasers,why the fuck can,t they buy one tranquillizer gun?

[JohnQWydell]

what a bunch of dumbass uniformed eggheads.

I hope next time one of them will get pulverized by the cow

[snowstormcan]

Dumbass eggheads? lol, retard.

[sweetooth111]

They could have used a stun gun if they had used their brains.

[IEatzRainbow]

Aww they don't wanna be a hamburger =(

[brunosaarenlouis]

hadden ze het niet slimmer kunnen aanpakken, waarom doodschieten dat is het simpelste wat ze hadden kunnen doen (en dan nog met 30 kogels ook - wat zijn dat voor een agenten ??)

[lvanmeijeren]

de schutter dacht zeker dat hij een konijn ging schieten

[styzoom]

Why not call a vet and shoot them with tranquillizers??

[gilliangirl1]

Because people who eat meat don't want to eat tranquilizers in their meat (altho' I'm sure they're still eating a whole lot of other bad stuff anyway). Glad to be vegetarian and not contributing to factory farms, slaughterhouses, and cattle truck collisions. The steer who got 30 shots got off easier than he would at the slaughterhouse. Thank God for small mercies.

[canedchicken]

Yes, because we all know getting shot once is far worse than getting shot 30 times...

[gilliangirl1]

Not sure if you're referring to my comment or not but my point was that 30 shots are STILL better than the treatment they get at the slaughterhouse. In a perfect world, we'd have neither.

[canedchicken]

have you been to a slaughterhouse? obviously not. I worked in one part time for a year and a half and it was a very efficient procedure, and no mistreatment of the animals, and certainly nothing horrific. Have you ever thought about what the brocoli feels as you boil it?

[gilliangirl1]

Excuse me? Am I to understand that you're comparing broccoli to a live cow? Does broccoli have a nervous system, a communication system, nurture its young, show affection to its mates, etc? You're not too bright are you? And yes, I have actually been in a slaughterhouse. It was the most horrifying experience of my life. The fact that you can just blow it off tells me more about you than I care to know.

[canedchicken]

Well up untill a little while ago most ppl believed fish could not feel pain either, maybe same storey with broccoli. And cows certainly do no show affection towards their mates, they are there for one thing...

[owensounders]

Thanks thanks thanks!!!! Need more people like you standing up to uneducated people like "gilliangirl1" Seems like she thinks she knows more that she actually does. Narrow-minded comes to my mind immediately when I see comments like hers!

[owensounders]

Perhaps in a perfect world, we'd have people like you making more educated comments, or better yet....NO comments at all!!!!!!!

[owensounders]

You need to educate yourself!!!!! Having grown up on a beef farm it is people like you who give farmers and their livelihood a bad name when you don't know what you are talking about and you are ignorant to the fact!!!!! It's not our fault you are a vegetarian, I feel sorry for your body. What about the farmer whose animal that was, are the police compensating them for the loss, I doubt it cause it was a matter of public safety....what a load of crap!!!

[gilliangirl1]

I'm giving you a bad name?? No, farmers give themselves a bad name because people are finding out what horrific things are going on in factory farming now. Don't feel sorry for my body, pal. I am 50, been vegetarian for 30 years, and could run circles around your sorry ass. Again, I don't give a flying fuck about whether or not the farmer was compensated for 'his loss'. You are a selfish POS if that's all you care about.

[owensounders]

Most farmers are treating their animals better than you treat yourself!!!!!! Where the hell are you getting this "factory farm" idea. Get off your sorry ass, go visit a farm out of the concrete place you call home and see how it's done and how hard it is to do it. As far as you rumming circles around my sorry ass......BRING IT ON!!!!! Love to see you move a couple thousand bales of hay when its 85 outside for 2 weeks!!! Are you up for the challenge??? You wouldn't last an hour!!!!!!!!!

[owensounders]

Furthermore....you not caring about whether the farmer was compensated for the loss.....how would you feel if someone took about $1400 out of your bank account, put it on the sidewalk in front of you and set it on fire. Bet your attitude would change when you saw that.

[owensounders]

Get off the factory farm idea. Not hard to tell you live in the city. Narrow minded. You OLD POS. By the way though, your comments do make me laugh. Thanks for that!!!

[ccAshercc]

they were considering calling it in, but that was when it was charging the officer and he chose to put it down. It's their call on the scene, not something they may want to do, but they were attempting to call in teams with tranqs.

[MagicCrayon]

They said it would have taken 15 minutes to kick in
