Artists put cow on 10 storey building
A cow is living on top of a ten storey building in Santiago in a work of performance art.

It was kidnapped on its way to a slaughter house by a group of artists who won't reveal their names.

The cow was lifted by crane on to the top of the building in the Chilean capital, reports Las Ultimas Noticias.

It will live on the 1,500sq ft rooftop, which has been remodelled as a farm, for a week.

1. Some German Friends Pulled A "Cow Prank" Years Ago By Leading A
cow up some apartment stairs and left it in front of someone's door.

You can lead cows UP stairs but it's harder than hell to get them to go DOWN stairs.

Thanks for the memory!

2. Wow...really talking about a real cow.
I thought they'd plastered up a big poster of Ann Coulter on a building somewhere.

3. The picture is a dairy cow.
I didn't know that dairy cows get slaughtered.

5. Yes, where do you think Hamburger comes from
Dairy cows tend to be to old to produce good steaks so generally made into hamburger.

4. Did Chick-Fil-A put them up to it?
Is it holding an "Eat more chicken" sign?
