Title: "...And Then The Mooing Just Stopped"

This is why Matt Drudge (http://www.standard.net/stories/2011/09/06/police-called-after-man-butchers-cow-his-driveway) makes the big bucks...

Quote
OGDEN -- Charges may ensue for an Ogden man who startled the neighbors by butchering a cow in his driveway over the weekend.

Police were called to the scene at 1:44 p.m. Sunday after the cow's owner began harvesting the animal. A patrolman was responding to a caller who saw a cow being trailered to the home in the 2700 block of Gramercy Avenue.

The caller then reported hearing the cow's audible mooing, followed by what sounded like a gunshot, said Police Lt. Troy Burnett. Then the mooing stopped.

Oh, yes, there's more...

Quote
The patrolman's report said when he arrived at the scene a half-block above Monroe Boulevard, "the cow was in the process of losing its head," Burnett said.

The man sawing at the animal's neck, the owner of the beef, denied shooting the cow on the premises, telling the officer the animal had been dispatched outside the city limits.

"It boggles my mind," Burnett said. "It's not illegal, but it's absurd that people would think slaughtering a cow in their driveway is OK. Maybe on the west side of the county on one of the farms. But in the middle of a high density residential area?"

It reads like a Monty Python skit...policeman walks up, "Alright, what's all this then?"

It's food, ya fool, in the process of processing.

Hey, no butchering in midtown, move on down to the eastside for that sort of thing.

Just wait until things get more .... indeterminate.  Folks will be hanging around waiting for fallout.

Ya know...

...with Detroit bulldozing homes to create "urban farms" this really shouldn't be that big a deal.

What?  No Pics?

I wanna see the blood getting washed down the driveway with the guy waving & smiling at the camera!

I hope he was sporting a PETA T-shirt!  (That would be People Eating Tasty Animals of course!)
