Stunning Video: Canadian Police Open Fire on Runaway Cow

I grew up in the farm country of Wisconsin and have seen my fair share of animals having to be put down with a gun in order to spare them pain (I’ve even had to do it myself). But I have to say, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Warning, what you are about to witness may be disturbing.

Police officers in Gatineau, Quebec tried on Thursday to corral two runaway cows that had escaped on the way to slaughter. “Tried” is the key word. See, they weren’t able to capture the cows. After determining the animals were a danger to local residents and officers (they were charging and acting erratically), the police open fired on one of the cows about 10 times.

The incident was captured on video by some local residents who go from chuckles to disbelief in a matter of seconds:

There is some language from the folks shooting the video....

Unreal....Where was the 12g with a slug? Perhaps a .308 rifle? Oh no,.....just a duty issue 9mm....Works real good on a 800lb cow.

Asshats....

Canada should have let Quebec succeed a few years back. With the exception of extremely attractive women..........um...err......never mind!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mounties are cool.
