3996...Meanwhile In The Country That Brought You

The History Channel, Germany, they have called off the hunt for Yvonne.

Slate and NPR tell all that "Yvonne is a six-year-old cow who made a last-minute escape on May 24 to avoid a trip to the slaughterhouse. She has been on the run ever since, first inspiring the wrath of law enforcement officials when she charged a police car in late July. The incident prompted authorities in Germany’s Mühldorf district to issue a shoot-to-kill order for hunters that might see the bold bovine. However, thanks in part to an outpouring of public support, the order was permanently revoked Monday."

First off, who the f*ck names a cow? Especially one that is going to be burgerized.

"During the summer-long ordeal, Yvonne wasn’t fooled by ploys to lure her to into the arms of the law. She evaded thermal-imaging cameras and search teams seeking a 10,000 euro ($14,533) reward offered by a German tabloid. Yvonne’s nerves of steel were likewise unshaken in the face of bait that included an attractive ox dubbed the 'George Clooney of cattle,' her 'sister cow,' Waltraud, or her calf, Friesi."

No wonder these people cannot win a war.
