COWS ARE COOL: LOVE ‘EM!

Wooden Cow Moo-ves Hearts


        What to speak of a real cow, a wooden cow cutout has stirred the feelings of a town in mid-west US.
        Ms Collins set up two life-size wooden cow cutouts on the range across the street from her home on Roxbury Road. After few days, one of the two wooden cutouts was stolen during the weekend. So Collins hand-painted a sign made out of plywood that said, “Please bring my sister back, I miss her. Thanks, Bessie.”
        A few days later, the cow cutout remarkably reappeared.
        Collins, you could say, was moo-ved.
        ”Somebody felt so bad after seeing the sign that they were so kind to return it,” Collins said. “So many times you hear about the people in this world, but there are still some honest people out there.”

        So another sign went up next to the 3-foot-tall cows: “Thanks for bringing my sister back. Thanks, Bessie.”
        Since the incident, Collins said her phone has been ringing constantly from people calling to ask about what happened with the cows. People driving by have been slowing down to read the sign.
        ”I thought, 'It's just a wooden cow.' I didn't think it would mean so much to people,” Collins says.
I love cows, they are so special creatures. I think they are more closely related to us then apes. They have the same characteristics as we do. there is nothing better then to sit and watch cows in the field, eating, playing, scraping. Hopefully they inherit the planet when were gone.
