Pickings are rather sparse at the DUmp tonight. This is a small campfire, but a little on the bizarre side:

Freedom for Yvonne!!!!
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/08/29/140036762/freedom-for-yvonne-germanys-runaway-cow-search-called-off
The search for Yvonne, the six-year-old cow that dashed to freedom just before she was to be transported to a slaughterhouse in southern Germany, has been called off. The cow has become a star, drawing international attention to Zangberg, the Bavarian commune where she made her escape.
Yvonne has been at large since May 24. But she made headlines in late July, when she ran across a highway and nearly collided with a police car. That led authorities to deem her a threat — and they issued a call for hunters to shoot the cow on sight.
That order was later suspended, partly due to a public outpouring of support for Yvonne. But Monday, the local government made the suspension permanent — and forbade anyone to hunt her with deadly force.

I hope someone finds her and gets her to a shelter before winter, and before some wolf or bobcat or whatever predators Germany has, finds her.

3. OL she's too valuable.
reprieve, but is she FREE?
Shame that unborn babies aren't given the same enthusiasm at the DUmp. I guess those aren't as important as "freedom" for something that was bred for its flavor, not its personality.

Would you like some Freedom Fries with that Freedom Burger? :popcorn:

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Freedom is best served medium-rare.

Because it's so much more fun to die being mauled by a bear than a quick shot to the head. Oh well, bears gotta eat too, and not only in Wyoming, in Germany as well. Bon Appetit.

I am waiting on nadin to come and dazzle us with her bovine expertise.

That is one area she really does have vast knowledge in, well bovine excrement anyway. :-)

This is akin to letting a cat whose been brought up in a house go out in the wild. :banghead:
