Were they trying to cripple it or something? Because they're either really lousy shots or really horrible people otherwise.

They were obviously shooting its heart/chest. Another person commented to me and said the "fucking pigs" were shooting its stomach so it would slowly die. ffffff
I liked when the cop walked up to it all cool like and shot it in the face. Real nice. Maybe cops should carry something heavier than those pussy 9mms, the cow practically ignored them. Wonder if some guy at McDonalds will find lead fragments in his Big Mac...
[QUOTE=ThatHippyMan;33051318]Those cops are a bunch of cowards.[/QUOTE] They are scared of a 1.1k pound cow, what cowards! What do you think they shoulda done? Beat it up?

The shooting was justified. However, the amount of time it took them to kill it wasn't. If they were making the choice to kill it (fair enough), then they should have made sure it was dead quickly, rather than let it suffer aslong as it did. Yeh it takes a fuck load of bullets to take one down probably, but blindly shooting at it and hesitating is cruel.
[QUOTE=McCarthy;33051229]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.[/QUOTE] From what I've seen, the new cops are usually fine, it's the older cops that start being assholes because they stereotype shit all the time.
Pigs kill cows, chickens concerned
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;33051329]What are they supposed to do? Wrestle it?[/QUOTE] It fucked off pretty quick when they sounded their sirens. If they're willing to bring five cars down to just shoot a cow, they may as well have just scared it back in the direction of the farm. I know the owner gave permission but really, ending a life for convenience sake isn't commendable.
Living out in the sticks in Texas this would happen quite often. Usually the ranchers would just cowboy up and rope it. Manya times the cowboy kids would come to school late all dressed in their dirty boots and what have you because they had to go wrangle a cow. Happened in my front yard once but that was in Alberta, Canada which is nearly the Texas of the north, anyway.
My brain is frying itself so hard every time I hear someone state that the cow was a fucking calf.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;33051159]No. All they wanna do is cry animal cruelty and call cops 'Fucking Pigs' for shooting it. :eng101: One in a million...[/QUOTE] What do they call them if they shoot escaped swine
I don't see anything wrong about it, they got permission and clearly it was a hazard Personally I think it would have been a better choice to at least get close and try to get a kill shot in the skull, but they weren't being cruel or anything by trying to shoot it in the heart.

[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;33051283]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.[/QUOTE] Police are trained on how to kill [I]humans[/I], they aren't cattle killing experts.
[QUOTE=Lol-Nade;33051350]Someone replying to me, says he is a witness and that I am wrong: @LollNade Hello...i am witness..saw the whole thing...read the paper again..the farmer was all of 17 and did not shut the trailer door..the cow was eating grass the cowbowys...came with lights, horns and sirens frightening it...Hello not to mention all the people that were right there..20 feet form me actually* !!! the cow was eating grass...look again...there a steps to take when such a thing happens..You do not just kill live animals that way in public...ricochettttt...helloooo...

The first time it didn't even look like the cow got shot. He took it like a champ, I thought they were just warning shots. The second time when it was shot in the leg and started limping, I started feeling sad for it...
Stupid cow should have [I]Hoofed[/I] it, it's not like it couldn't have [I]moo[/i]ved out of the way. What's the cops [i]beef[/i] anyway? What an [i]udderly[/i] pointless waste. I think that's enough, [i]Milked[/i] it a bit much there.
[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;33051005]Yep[/QUOTE] The fact that the cow was being flat-out dangerous? Sure, I guess that's kind of justified. But the fact that the "owner of the cattle" said so? No. That's not justified. Imagine a parent saying "yeah, sure, go ahead, kill my child," simply because the child was being reckless and violent.

Man that must have hurt for the cow. Pretty sure they aren't as primitive as lobsters and such who don't feel as much pain.. especially if shot at. Anyway, why? Surely you cannot calm the cow down instead of blazing the police sirens at it and firing at it!

All that steak gone to waste. D:

Parents do not kill their children.
[i]That's not really a gun is it?[/i] No fucking shit, what else would they be shooting a cow with?
video title: "Cops scare and overkill kill small calf. trigger happy, animal cruelty 101" Yep, sounds unbiased.
[QUOTE=Page Not Found;33051051]The video commentary and those youtube comments :smith: Completely justified killing of the cows.[/QUOTE] Do you eat Hamburgers? If so, you justify the killing of cows.
I like how every-one seems to totally ignore that we eat cow on a nearly daily fucking basis. Yet when one gets shot they want the people that did it murdered. Okay. [editline]31st October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Lol-Nade;33053586]Parents do not kill their children.[/QUOTE] Often.
