Herd the Latest?

Today a cattle truck tipped, leaving several steers loose in a suburban neighbourhood just on the outskirts of Toronto. Several were rounded up from back yards, but not without some injuries to people involved in the herding. Finally, the last one charged officers, and was shot dead in what was described in some news reports as a "hail of bullets."

Sad, that animals were potentially injured, certainly frightened and out of their element, and that one had to die in the end. Sad, yes. But... SOOOOOO many jokes to be had here, people. I just can't help myself. I love a bad pun, and it's just ripe for the picking, isn't it?

I mean... can you see the headlines tomorrow?

A load of bull spilled in Toronto today - and politicians had nothing to do with it!

oh jeez. There's something there about a different kind of horns causing trouble on the roadway. Maybe something about head out on the highway. A driver comment about how he couldn't steer his rig. I just can't stand it. Yet somehow I feel it's not all that appropriate to joke about an animal dying. Help me out here - give me the worst you've got and join me on the dark side. Please? I tell you, nothing makes my day like some really cheesy word play.
