Mad Cow

I went to the Orange County Fair last week but didn't see anything like this:

In the second bizarre incident at the State Fair in a week, Cal Expo police shot an agitated, pregnant dairy cow that twice escaped her confines and knocked over an officer as she bolted through the fairgrounds Tuesday morning.

Neither the cow nor her calf survived the shooting, which occurred an hour before gates opened to the public.

Ultimately, the roughly 1,200-pound cow became a threat to thousands of employees already abuzz in the fairgrounds, police and veterinary officials said. They agreed she had to be put down after a 1 1/2-hour chase.

I saw people at the fair that looked like they could have Mad Cow Disease, but never actually saw a mad cow.
