Have you ever seen the California cheese commercials? "Great cheese comes from happy cows." In these commercials they are always talking about how happy the cows are that are from California. The cows are warm and have plush grass year round.
Well, in eastern Washington this past week, a 600 lb cow allegedly fell off a cliff and landed on a mini van's hood that was traveling down the highway. Nobody in the mini van was injured, but I think there needs to be an investigation! Cows don't just fall off cliffs everyday. I think the cow was depressed and committed suicide. (I know these commercials depress me!)
I feel seeing these commercials for happy cows and not being able to find a way to hitchhike (no thumbs) to California got it depressed and it wasn't about to stand for another winter in Eastern Washington. So mytheory is that it waited by the cliff for just the right moment to jump!
This cow was depressed and wanted to show the world what it had to go through. Cows die everyday, but how many cow's deaths make the six o'clock news? None! This cow had to do something different to get noticed. Granted, it forgot to write the suicide note before jumping, but I still think this is what happened.
So if you own cows in colder, darker, rainier climates please watch them this winter for signs of depression, or I think we are going to see a sharp rise in cow suicides this winter. Copy cat crimes happen all the time after major news events like this one, so farmers please be careful.

(sorry, this is in draft right now..........but I won't get a chance to comment on it later)
This is HILARIOUS!!!!! I went to College in Eastern Washington................I can relate to why a cow would jump off a cliff. For us, it was heavy amounts of booze to make it through winter :)
