Darlington Police shoot unarmed cow

Not sure why but for some reason I thought this was a thread about Diane abbott.

Why?

I never put the word 'obese' in the thread title.

Yep. I should have realised. Poor Cow btw.

A mooving story

RIP

ofcourse its an unarmed cow. Cows dont walk round with knives or Ak's



Should have been sat. Endangering lives if it goes onto the main road nevermind the queues it would cause

should have been shot*

Unarmed? Surely they planted a knife on it to play safe, they're slipping

MARVELLOUS STIFF COWY!

there will be riots on the street of the nearest labour stronghold/urban slum demanding all police be publicly whipped and sent on bovine sensitivity courses.

A bucket of oats and they will follow you. Thats all you have to do

Yep. Police love their porridge.

they thought it had a gun -

Mooderers.

the animal probably suffered  less than if  slaughtered  at the abotoir -  at the slaughterhouse they know they're  about to  have their life ended - this shooting could only have been a sudden and surprised end  for the animal .

the cow probably more stressed about the situation it was in and being chased etc .


not sure why everyone is up in arms ,as the police said -if the cow roamed onto the motorway we wouldn't have been given any slack -you can't please evryone all the time .

i'm sure some of the complainants were busy tucking into a beef steak at some point afterwards -

having said that i don't think we have the right to kill any cows but thats only my personal opinion  - but that's a totally different story and not what the article is about .

so the police were right imo

what is it with animals and that part of the world?
first monkeys on ships being hanged and now cows being treated like pistol packing drug dealers ffs

not forgetting horses getting punched

Could have been a Newham cow

,must have had a good fresian to shoot that cow !

Afraid to say but Darlington not in Tyne & Wear, and no where near the coast.

Must have been very good shots from that sort of distance.

Come on jockey,everyone knows that monkey was  French spy during the Napoleonic wars.If they hadn't hung it in Hartlepool we would all be talking francais by now and the germans might have overrun us as well ! Hartlepool saved us all !

A memorial vigil will be held for a cow that was shot dead by police marksmen.

This is animal cruelty

Can't believe the press are still milking this.

Did anyone attend, surely facts & pandora were there ?

What on earth were Darlington police doing in Newcastle? Way out of bandit country for them.

I saw someone killed when a cow which got loose from an abatoir ran into the road and ran into a car,
I also saw similar with a loose horse.
I you get hit by half a ton of scared small brained animal you will generally come of second best.

not sure why everyone is up in arms

12 police cars, 6 police marksmen, plus a helicopter does seem a bit excessive!

Pity there aren't enough resources (due to austerity, of course) for them to tackle crime with such zeal.
