Man says he shot cow after mistaking it for coyote; authorities are skeptical

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS





COLFAX TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A man says he shot and killed a neighbour's cow after mistaking it for a coyote.

Authorities and the cow's owner are skeptical. The undersheriff in northern Michigan's Benzie County says he doesn't see how anyone could confuse a 635-kilogram, pregnant cow with a coyote, which typically weighs about 13 kilograms.

Shooting coyotes is illegal during deer-shooting season and authorities asked the county prosecutor to bring charges.

Undersheriff Rory Heckman says the 42-year-old man told authorities he was out to shoot coyotes near his home Saturday when he killed the cow and then tried to drag it home.

The owner of the cow, DeAnn Mosher, says her husband thought that their neighbour should go through some therapy looking at repeated pictures of cows and coyotes, because they look nothing alike.

Cow-Coyote : easy mistake to make.

They do have similar behaviours. Sometimes cows get sneaky and crawl through the underbrush. It's a hereditary trait left over from the days when cows used to stalk their prey.

Good that there are still people who know how evil these cowyotes can be

Why are you wasting your time talking about the cowyotes? There's more important things to be worried about.

How do you expect people to properly defend themselves from this menace if you don't include a picture?!

Jeez, lady. Don't have a coyote.

That's utterly insane! I've herd of people mistaking a chicken for a coyote, but a cow!? I say Bull.

Also, that's a poorly written article that is seriously lacking in puns.
