An amazing way to die


Would you ever have thought it would be possible for a cow to drown in a drum? Neither would I. But it happened. Outside the stable at the farm of a friend’s are a few drums with water for the cows. A young cow enthusiastically put both her  forelegs and her head in the drum- and never got them out again! She drowned while her entire body was out of the water.

So what happened? A feast! When I arrived an hour or so after the tragic death, about 20 people were cutting up the cow and barbecuing the best bits. When you get lemons, make lemonade!

I took a bite and made sure I left before they started on the tongue, the brain, the stomach, the hide and other choice morsels that I’ve eaten before but am not particularly eager to renew the acquaintance with.

    Jy sê dit is ‘n jong koei. Sy het dalk nie geweet dit is vir water drink nie – dalk wou sy haar gesig was…

    Een jonge koe- nog waarschijnlijker dat ze in de spiegel wou kijken…
