POCATELLO — Police fatally shot a 1,000-pound cow Friday afternoon that had led them on a lengthy chase through the city’s north side.

"Hooves up, don't shoot!"
This was one determined cow....Wow....
Went thru that with a horse that broke thru a fence one time. Damn that horse could run and jump. A big young race horse. $25,000 horse. Was blocked in an alley by pickup trucks. Jumped the trucks. Someone did get a rope around it's neck. Jerked it right out. Police cars and people in 4X4s chasing, fearing it'd run out on the highway causing an accident as it ran thru alleys and the railroad tracks a block over. Able to jump short fences, the vehicles simply couldn't follow, people scrambling to try to figure where it was off to.
An older fellow who always had raised horses, a rancher, finally convinced the police and everyone of the obvious solution.
Just stop chasing it. "Leave it alone and it will go home. Its running because you're chasing it."
About a quarter hour later like appearing out of nowhere it strolled back thru the fence it has busted and headed straight for the water trough.
Yeah, chasing a cow with sirens running and shooting at it will have it keep running. But it was probably an exciting chase.
An animal was running and scared, clearly trying to preserve his/her own life, and all we do is making ****ing jokes? Humans can be so crude. **** you cops. **** human supremacy.
"It was a cow". What a flippant comment. He or she was a being that is capable of suffering and experiencing emotion. Killing other animals for food is completely unnecessary violence, hence why so many find this disturbing.Come on, it was a cow! Burgers for everyone!

If you and others base the validity of your actions upon their occurrence among other species I do suggest you leave the planet.Animals eat other animals. People who find this disturbing can find a different planet.

Tell that to the buffalo that is being eaten alive by a pride of lions. We humans are meat-eaters, at least some of us are. Don't get me wrong, I love a good salad, it goes good with a well cooked burger.

:lamoSounds like they need to beef up security in that town.
