Suicidal cows?
Edited on Mon Aug-31-09 08:12 PM by undergroundpanther
Police baffled as dozens of 'suicidal' cows throw themselves off cliff in the Alps

In the picturesque Swiss village of Lauterbrunnen, the locals are worried.Dozens of alpine cows appear to be committing suicide by throwing themselves off a cliff near the small village in the Alps.

In the space of just three days, 28 cows and bulls have mysteriously died after they plunged hundreds of metres to rocks below where they were killed instantly.

Animal suicide is real.I have seen it. One time I made a campfire put rocks around it in a ring. Sitting by the fire, tending it. I saw two toads hopping nearby. I assumed they must have came out of the nearby woods.The two toads hopped up on the rocks circling the fire,the rocks were not hot or in the flames yet. Both toads sat there a minute. Suddenly, one toad hopped into the fire. I didn't catch him in time to stop him.The toad jumped into the hottest part of the fire sitting atop coals,the other toad watched this toad die. While I frantically tried to get this toad out of the fire,it resisted my help.So when it was obvious he was a goner I stopped trying to get him out of the fire.Then when the toad in the fire was burnt up the other toad sat on the rock a minute or so than hopped away back into the grass hopping twords the woods..

Here is a site that aknowleges animal suicide.

A very sad story. A birdie was hit by a tuck and her beloved one tried to save her. The first thing he did was to bring her some food in a hope that it would help. But unfortunately his sweetheart died. Shocked, he tried to bring her back to life.
He tried to lift her and make her move. When he realized that all his efforts were in vain, he began to cry. And then he began to scream and call for help. Then, he finally realized that she left him for ever ... he stayed next to her body, motionless with his enormous grief.

12. I blame the Chik-fil-a ads...
cows parachuting down from the sky...


Regular cows are seeing this stuff and doing the same thing.

Sort of like the bovine version of "Jackass", only they keep forgetting the parachutes.
