Police said the animals were found wandering on Montreal Road West near George Street at about 12:22 p.m. The animals were bound for an abattoir when they escaped Thursday afternoon from a trailer.
Police said the animals at times charged police cars. Children at a nearby primary school, St-Jean de Brebeuf, were asked to stay indoors while police attempted to corral the animals.
Police said it was impossible to contain the animals and, with the permission of the owner of the cattle, they shot and killed one of them the intersection of Chemin de la Rive and Chemin du Quai, about 30 kilometres east of downtown Gatineau. Another was shot and killed near the George Street exit of Highway 50 eastbound.
Residents near Chemin de la Rive and Chemin du Quai told CBC News they were shocked to see police officers draw their weapons and open fire near houses.
Video of the incident, posted online by an area resident, shows several police cruisers surrounding one of the cows.
As it attempts to gallop away, at least one officer appears to fire his gun, and at least six shots are heard. It is not clear if or where police hit the animal, but it appears to be limping when it walks on the grassy shoulder of de la Rive.
Police cars, with sirens blaring, slowly track the animal and try to cut it off its path.
A police officer again opens fire from about four metres away, firing another four shots.
Gatineau police said they tried several times to get the animals into the trailer and were unable to because of their aggressiveness. Police said all measures were taken to ensure no person was put in danger.[/QUOTE]

So, do you think its justified?
They got permision from the owner, and the articles says they were charging cars and children, . Jusified imo
The Cow was a danger too drivers, and the officers. First time around it almost appeared as if it was charging the officers... Totally justified. The second time around they were just trying to finish it off, and put it out of it's misery.
I say it's justified.
Clear and present danger to both the officers and bystanders and had received permission by the owner, definitely justified.
I like how the commentary and title of the video call the cow a "small calf."

The video commentary and those youtube comments :smith:
Completely justified killing of the cows.

They had one person shout, "THEY SHOULD OF LASSO'D IT" I want to find this person and teach them how cow lassoing works.
Wait, people really care this much about cows?
No. All they wanna do is cry animal cruelty and call cops 'Fucking Pigs' for shooting it. :eng101:
[quote]Nobody here posting has worked on a farm I can clearly tell. Cows kill more people* every year than sharks, dogs or bears do. The cops shot the cow when it charged at them. It was self defence you retards.

Living on a farm, with cows, I'm in the position to say that you don't want to be anywhere near a pissed off cow.
Cows are huge.
You don't want to be close to a few hundred pounds of angry muscle, and you really don't want to be holding onto a rope tied to it.
[quote]THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND PEOPLE DO LOVE ANIMALS...THEY HAVE RIGHTS...DONT BE STUPID !!![/quote]
Part of video description.
That uploader is a fool.
Yeah... Hell I wouldn't even try if they weren't pissed off. I can imagine that even active they'll react negatively too any form of contraction around the neck.
Sigh... the video title calling it a small calf, can you say some people just hate cops? I mean i'm not going to lie i don't like them either but at least i respect them and am unbiased if i meet a new one. WITH THAT SAID, i'd say 50% are egotistical assholes. The other 50% seem to actually care.
I suppose if it was a danger it was justified. I can't help but feel uncomfortable seeing how many rounds go into the cow and it still manages to struggle on, especially when you can see how intense its breathing is after the first rounds.
Yeah, let's shoot it five times and let it stand there and suffer for another minute yeah
At least finish the poor thing off
No. That's fucked up. Idiots just wanting to shoot something.
From living on a farm I can tell you that it's not that hard to shoo a fucking cow back to where it's supposed to go if you know what you're doing, and it's definitely not that hard to kill a cow with a gun. Sub-100 iq officers just unloading at its ass lol. Morons.
The youtube comments are just so retarded. Honestly, save yourself an aneurism, don't look at them.
Lol TommyWiseau1 is going into threads and spamming the shit out of ratings. Smooth criminal.
Also, if its a clear and present danger, why not? If it may harm humans, do so. Still a bit immoral and stupid, lazy, however.

Yes because you can hit vital organs when the cow is running from you and with its massive ass in the way.
The cow was a bit young, shoulda just shot the legs then finished him off. Not let it suffer.
