A cow drowned and another copped a faceful of pepper spray after running
amok in downtown Auckland yesterday. The yearling heifers jumped from a
barge at Jellicoe Wharf. One caused chaos in rush hour traffic, while the
other jumped into Waitemata Harbour and drowned. The one on land ran across
Victoria Park and up to the motorway. Constable Mike Small said he used
pepper spray when the cornered animal began ramming people and parked cars.
"It didn't seem to have any effect so I let it have the whole can," he
said. He lassoed the cow. - NZPA
They have a bit of a power crises and the place turns into The Wild West -
Yee Haa!
Also, at the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival, last month, several people
had to be attended to after a dispute between two *revellers* resulted in
pepper spray drifting across the crowd. Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs do
have capsicum on the nose but never capsaicin in the eyes. =8'-(
Was it Rael warming up for a game of Twister (TM)?
