The Great Escape

[Buleste]

Just found this little news item.

A cow has escaped from an abattoir, leaping down a manhole and fleeing for a mile through a town's underground sewage system, before being captured in northern France.

The 90-stone animal was finally located beneath a church in Noeux-les-Mines, near Calais, after the vicar reported a muffled 'mooing sound' coming from beneath the building.

Council sewage workers found the cow wedged in a tight bend in the subterranean tunnel, and it was sedated before being dragged back to the surface using a winch and a crane.

But it was later put down due to injuries sustained in the rescue operation.

It's at times like this i wish we could add mp3's to the posts.

That is quite a mad escape for any animal. But a cow! It is hard to picture a cow jumping through a man hole and escaping along the sewer.

As for MP3s. No, I'm glad we can't!

It is a MOOOOOOO-ving story up until the bit where the rescuers decide to have Steak Tartare. The Sheep on the moterbike got away though!!!!
