Hi-Viz For Cows
Kudos to Nanny for coming up with one her most absurd ideas yet, hi-viz jackets for cows.
Hungerford Council were concerned about the health and safety aspects of cows wandering the local roads at night, lest they be hit by a car.
The suggestion made was for the cows to wear hi-viz clothing and, at the suggestion of the mayor, lights strung round their necks!
Suffice to say, the local farmers think that this idea is bollocks. As one farmer pointed out, cows don't always conveniently stand at 90 degrees to an oncoming car. Sometimes cows stand facing the vehicle, as such a hi-viz jacket would not be seen.
The sensible solution is for there to be traffic calming measures, so vehicles are not roaring round the danger areas at night at insane speeds.
Roger Denton, one of the farmers, is quoted by the Telegraph:
“The thing about fluorescent collars is that they’d only get them off anyway and litter them all over the common.”Nanny needs a strong dose of common sense!

The Danger of Cows
A rather sad tale in the Telegraph about police shooting an escaped cow which, seemingly, posed a threat.
Oddly enough, the police marksman missed on his first attempt.
Poor cow!
"The Belgian blue female was killed after police chased the animal for two hours across Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Police said the cow had become aggressive, charging at several members of the
public and a police officer, before jumping the fence into the car park of
Belton Lane Community Primary School.
A first shot fired from the top of a large white van parked near to the
children’s school missed.
The van was driven around the corner to get firearms officers closer and the
second shot fired killed the cow.
Police said children and staff were evacuated and moved to a safer area in the
school while the operation was taking place.
One mother said: "The cow had been on the loose for more than two hours
and had charged at several members of the public, including me as I
innocently walked down Harrowby Lane to collect my kids from school.
"Thank god I didn't have my kids with me at the time, I dread to think what could have happened."
Helen Green, a local resident who saw the chase, said: “We saw three police cars chasing it down the road, which must have scared it away and it just got lost. [Police] must have thought ‘oh, it’s an animal in a place where it shouldn`t be so of course we`ll kill it.”
One local farmer said: "You don't shoot a cow. It's a living animal. Just because you can't catch it doesn't mean you have to shoot it, should have given me a call and I bet I could have caught it."
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said the cow was followed around residential streets after it escaped on Monday afternoon, before becoming increasingly distressed and aggressive. It then jumped fences and charged at members of the public and police officer.
Police officers consulted the RSPCA and the owner of the animal in an effort to resolve the situation peacefully.
Superintendent Phil Vickers said: “It is regrettable and sad that the incident ended with the escaped cow being dispatched by an armed police officer with a rifle.
"We tried everything we could to capture the animal but it became increasingly distressed, aggressive and unpredictable. The cow was shot in the grounds of Belton Lane Community Primary School when the pupils and most of the staff had left the area.
"I would like to thank the local community for their cooperation and understanding during the course of the incident. The safety of the public was paramount in our thinking throughout the event.”
