Luna is a German cow. The thing is that Luna does not think of herself as c ow but rather a horse. Luna's 15 year old owner was denied a horse by her parents so she slowly trained one of their cows to be a horse. Luna jumps beer crates and logs and even gallops all while her owner Regina rides her. I really can't believe it is such a slow news day that I am writing about a cow from some village on the Austrian border that thinks it is a cow. Wow. Maybe I can find some video f it because that would at least make it interesting. I found some. Still not that exciting. I think the fact the people over at Al Jazeera had nothing else to report on is even more interesting.

ReplyDeleteThat's a real cowgirl.
ReplyDeleteMartin Putzhammer? That's right up there with John Boehner or Dick Swett (as well as Douchenozzle and Asswaffle) for go-to names from now on!
ReplyDeleteI am messed up. I will go online and eviscerate the likes of Renee Zellwegger in comments but I feel terrible for that poor animal.
ReplyDeletePeople should just let cows be cows.
Agree, Simone. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteEven Al Jazeera needs a break from all the misery from time to time. The cow looks pretty happy to me.

ReplyDeleteI think cows dream of being horses!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ um, the, er, math equation thingy.
ReplyDeleteI guess it beats showing up in the next Happy Meal served at the local Mickey D's but if you asked him I bet he would rather be out eating grass with the rest of his cow posse. After all, running around with a human on his back has probably ruined his street cred.
She needs to buy herself a horse.
PUTZHAMMER! I want to change my name.
ReplyDeleteI guess I was in the minority as I read this story elsewhere and thought it was great. She solved her own problem and I think that the cow is getting special treatment as well. With that being said, I do think the cow should be retired and she should get herself a horse.
ReplyDeleteHaving spent many years around cows I can assure you, this cow loves the attention, doesnt do anything it doesnt want to do and isnt being harmed in any way. This is one very lucky cow. If you want to feel bad, feel bad for bears and elephants trained to walk on their hind legs or tigers trained to jump through flaming hoops against their will.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, cows were used in farming, people stopped when they discovered that horses are better at it.
I think it's hilarious. Anyone who has ever been denied something by their parents should be able to empathize with being the one kid ... with a jumping cow instead of a horse.
ReplyDeleteWell look at it this way. As long as they consider it a horse they are less likely to eat her.
ReplyDeleteThanks, anotheramy. I'm an animal freak who doesn't know much about cows, and I was wondering!
ReplyDeleteI love any instance in which a human bonds with an animal. Except bestial instances, obviously.
"If you want to feel bad, feel bad for bears and elephants trained to walk on their hind legs or tigers trained to jump through flaming hoops against their will."
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree.
True that, Anotheramy. Did you see this today? Awesome news: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2011/04/uk-to-ban-animal-circuses-after-cruelty-exposed.php
ReplyDeleteR.Q -- The U.K. is generally really good to its animals, and humanely progressive. America could take a few lessons.
ReplyDeleteIda - agree completely. The fact that they don't allow veal calves to be put in crates is only one example.
ReplyDeleteCanada could also take a few lessons.
Aww, I loved it. My gut tells me she probably takes pretty good care of this cow.
ReplyDeleteI WISH they'd ban circuses here.
I took my niece to the circus 10 year ago. My husband nor I had been since we were children and IT WAS HORRIBLE. Not only because of how bad we felt for the animals, but also, in terms of entertainment it SUCKED. My niece was more interesting in the $20 sparkler/glow stick they were trying to sell, anyway.
