Cow jailed in Colombia

A cow has been put in prison after it was blamed for a road accident in Colombia.

The cow was wandering along a road in Giron when was hit by a woman on a motorcycle.

The woman was not badly hurt but police decided the cow was a danger and 'arrested' it.

Officers were unable to find out who owns the cow and are keeping it in the town's prison.

A police spokesman said: "If it was a person who caused the accident, he or she would be behind bars, so why not a cow?"

Hey, the cops down here (Saint Lucia) arrest animals all the time. Never makes the news though. :)

How pathetic - it would be great if they spent their time doing useful things.

If the cow understood what he was being punished for, then it would make a bit of sense, but I am pretty sure that he doesn't.
