We don’t get a lot of cow stories here on the internet. The crazy animal stories are almost always about a dog, or a cat, or even the occasional rat, be it of the pizza or shower variety. Once in a while there’s something about an animal escape, but that’s generally some kind of exotic, semi-wild animal escaping from its zoo enclosure. But today, oh boy, have we got ourselves a cow story! It comes to us from America’s heartland, one of the country’s dairy capitals, the Hawkeye state…Iowa!
Cows may seem like dumb animals, standing around all day, chewing cud, waiting to be milked or turned into delicious roast beef sandwiches. But they have the same desires as everyone, particularly the desire for freedom. Or at least that’s what an enlightened cow in Afton, Iowa, is after. This bovine bandit apparently often escapes its enclosure near the home of Erin Hudson. Usually, it just gets out, and it gets sent back. But not this time. This time, the cow stole and tried to eat Hudson’s mail. Her daughter caught it all on video.
Here’s a better version of the video.
