Bloodthirsty cow starts eating sheep
ct news ^ | 4-24-2015 | Beth Spotswood

A once-vegterian dairy cow in Kenya has started to attack and eat sheep, killing and eating two last week in Miti Mingi Village, Nakuru County. No one knows why the rogue cow has started to feast on sheep, but theories run from the cow not getting enough fresh grass during the dry season to the cow being possessed.

After the first sheep was killed, owner Charloes Mamboleo gave the killer cow more food and water. But the next day, with an apparent taste for blood, Killer Cow (KC) struck again. Mamboleo’s wife, Consepta Kerubo is now worried KC will go after their kids.

KC is not the first cow to eat meat, either out of desire or necessity. In 2007, Reuters reported on an Indian cow that feasted on live chickens. And here is a 1931 article from TIME in which a meat-eating cow produced really great cream. There is much to be found on the internet about cows NEVER eating meat, no matter what.

KC would probably disagree.

I’ve only had/been around the free-range ones, and they certainly do their part eating insects pests, small snakes, etc, and they scavenge anything edible-including one another-sort of like air breathing catfish...;

Roosters have different calls for predators depending on if it is a hawk or a dog or fox- these calls are very easy to distinguish. I’m so used to the calls now when the rooster makes an “aerial predator call” to warn his hens I look up automatically and there is always a hawk, and when he makes the “dog alert” call I look low for the fox or dog. He makes no such call for vultures or the little red-shouldered hawk that is not a threat, no call for my dog, only strange ones. The rooster also makes distinctive sounds depending on what he finds to eat, be it bread or a snake. If it’s something normal like corn a few of the hens will lazily come to him but if he sounds really excited about a lizard or snake they all come running.

Like someone else said, sounds like the cow is low on a mineral; could be salt or calcium, especially if the cow has given birth recently.

Good, reward the bad behavior.

ALso remember the Panda bear that started eating other animals as well, and they put it down...

Can ANYONE prove that this is not in fact EVOLUTION?

Didn’t Kenya have a blood drinking cult called the Moo Moo’s?

Not the first blood-sucking animal to come out of Kenya.

Apparently the feeding of animal parts to cows has developed their appetite for meat.

48 posts and nobody noticed the cow’s name is KC.

There’s a punchline in there somewhere...

One of my clients had a donkey and a goat on their property. She told me one day that the donkey actually opened the gate to the goats stall and let it out into the pasture where it killed the goat and tossed it into a ditch. Animals are weird.

If you were to find an earth-like planet with no large animals or predators and put a large herd of cattle on it, within a few thousand years you would have carnivorous cows.

some of the cows would start to develop into predators otherwise the cows would overpopulate.
