Chicken-Eating Cow

Cowtongue I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw the video with my own eyes, but this is a pretty bizarre story. I wanted post the video, but I can't seem to find it. If you find it, let me know.

Chicken-Eating Calf Makes India Farmer Famous

CALCUTTA, India  —  When his chickens started disappearing a few weeks ago, a farmer in eastern India figured dogs or jackals were to blame — until he discovered his calf making a meal of his poultry.

Moloy, who uses only one name, and his 1-year-old calf have since become local celebrities, with the carnivorous cow appearing on television in India's state and hundreds of people flocking to see them in Chandipur, a village 145 miles southwest of the state capital.

To catch the culprit, Moloy got up very early ... and to his disbelief found that it was his calf which came out from the cow shed and was eating the chickens alive," Debjyoti Chatterjee, a local resident who filmed the calf eating a chicken, said Thursday The local veterinarian was at a loss for an explanation.

"I've never read or heard about cows turning carnivorous," said Mihir Tripathy. They eat grass and other vegetarian food but not fish or other non-vegetarian stuff."

Obama Takes First Step Toward Presidential Bid

I've never been all that political, but I am really excited about Barack Obama. In the past I've tended to lean more towards the right, but I didn't know any better. I don't know how my family, friends, and church will react to my "Obama 2008" bumber sticker, but this is my candidate!

7171068m Dear Andrew,

Running for President may be a step that I take, but it is a journey I cannot hope to complete without the energy and talents of people like you. A glance across history and my own past as a community organizer on the streets of Chicago has taught me that sweeping change never comes from one person or program, but always from the will and passion of countless voices, working and fighting and marching towards that better place. This is your chance to lead that change, and I encourage you to participate and ask others to join our effort. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to continuing our conversation in the weeks and months to come.

Sincerely,

Obama_sig
