Cow sent to prison
20/08/2005
A cow has been thrown in jail in Colombia after it was deemed that it had been responsible for causing an accident.
The hapless bovine beast was walking along a road in Giron, minding its own business, when it was hit by a woman on a motorbike.
While the biker was not badly hurt, the police decided the cow was a danger to the public, and arrested it.
Until the police can find out who owns the cow, they have decided to stick it in custody, keeping it locked in the town's prison.
With irrefutable logic, a police spokesperson reasoned: "If it was a person who caused the accident, he or she would be behind bars, so why not a cow?"
