Rowdy Ruminant Repulsed

A vicious bovine attack was foiled by the farmer's wife in Florida:

Wilcox’s wife told a deputy that her husband was working on a fence in the pasture when she heard him scream. She drove into the pasture and saw a cow “attacking” her husband.

“She was able to hit the cow several times with the truck to get it off of her husband,” the report states.

Wilcox apparently had shot the cow, listed as a crossbred with 12- to 18-inch horns, with a .22 caliber pistol, but apparently dropped or lost the weapon during the attack.

His wife picked up the pistol and shot the cow several times in the face, driving the animal away. The pistol was loaded with “ratshot,” or cartridges having a number of extremely small pellets instead of a single, solid projectile.


As submitter points out, shotshells in a .22 are about as useful as a nerf ball. She'd have been better off throwing rocks at the evil beast. One hopes they have the sense to immediately convert the diabolical cowmmando into freezer filler.
