A cow which made an escape while being taken to a slaughterhouse has been living alone on an island. When the slaughterhouse workers arrived to take away the cow, they were told it would be best to calm the feisty bovine down. But they ignored the advice and as it came out of its shed to be loaded onto the lorry, it managed to escape.
Instead it broke a metal fence and dashed for the nearby Lake Nysa, south Poland, Wiadomosci reported. A farmworker ended up with a broken arm during the escape, in which the cow seemed to dive underwater as it made its way to the island. After a week of trying and failing to get the cow back, the farmer, known only as Mr Lukasz, gave up and began making sure it was fed enough food to stay alive. When firefighters used a boat to get to the island, the cow swam about 50 metres to a neighbouring island.
Pawel Gotowski, a commander of the police in Nysa, said the animal was very frightened and it was impossible to get more than 70 meters near to the animal. A vet called in to calm down the animal told Mr Lukasz he had run out of a large cage, and that it would take several days to get new ones. The farmer is reluctant to shoot the animal as that would mean losing the income for its sale.
The animal's story has now been taken up by former singer, Pawel Kukiz, who has offered to save the hero cow from death. He said if all have shown such determination as this cow, then Poland would be a much richer country. “Therefore, I decided to do everything to deliver the cow to a safe place, as a reward for her attitude, give her a guarantee of a long-term retirement and natural death.”
