Bessie the cow (pictured) was shot dead after being cornered by dozens of policemen, a helicopter, 20 squad vehicles and six snipers.

I'm not sure they brought enough guys.

Now I understand why they keep most British cops unarmed.

What the hell is wrong with these idiots? Give it a handful of food and it would have followed you anywhere.

Let’s not judge so quickly. Were their brands still on fire and their hooves made of steel?

Wouldn’t it have made more sense, once they had found the cow, to corner her and send for a keeper at the park to take her back? Of course, that solution wouldn’t have allowed them to play SWAT.

Bessie was among three cows to bolt from a country park after being spooked by a dog.

Showing remarkable restraint not to have shot the dog too.

It's killing cow incidents like this that will lead to cows with guns. (link to Cows with Guns)

Allowing individuals to use dogs in fox hunting is tyranny. Having police snipers target a cow is necessary and just. /liberal logic

This is what happens when pansy anti-gun nations such as the UK leave self-defence to central planners (AKA the police) instead of allowing individuals to act and adjust their plans in accordance to events.
