[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1758257, member: 40335"] A couple years ago I came up on a car cow accident. 5 cows were killed. One a 1200 lb or so cow had both hind quarters tore off just above it’s pelvis bones or the base of its spine. The cow was laying up right chewing it’s cud keeping itself propped up right with its front legs just as if if she had laid down. It’s intestines had fail out of its back end were its hind quarters had been torn off. I was amazed at how the cow appeared to not be in any pain. It was dark about 1 a.m. in the morning. Cops hadn’t arrived yet. As I was driving through at first I thought the cow that had its hind quarters torn off was intact and that it’s hind quarters that was laying about 15 foot from it was another cow or big calf. But when we got close enough to see what happened. My wife wanted me to shoot the cow and put it out of its misery. I told her the cops could do that when they got there. The car that hit the cows was a mid sized sports car of some kind. Air bag had deployed. Driver was standing beside the car talking on his cell phone. Car didn’t look to be too bad damaged. That happened in Fort Smith Arkansas. Cattle owners are responsible for damage’s when cattle get on public roads. What few cow/car accidents I know of the owners don’t come forward to claim the cows.
