Well, that doesn’t happen every day
Police were called because a man was butchering a cow in his driveway. Not illegal, apparently.

It makes you wonder wht’s happened to Americans.

Where else would you butcher a cow? I tend to butcher deer in the backyard, but that’s just cause its easiest to hang them there. I don’t have a garage, but when I did, I used to hang them in the garage and butcher them there.

Civilized to the point of stupidity is what it is… Trying to invent a reason to make it a crime to butcher a cow in your driveway… I butchered some pigs similarly last year… Some nosy asshat came to a damn near complete stop… Well that is until I walked up and shot the second pig with my .45…

BTW, this is the kind of crap that happens when Californians are allowed back into America.

Well, good thing he wasn’t butchering a horse.
“disorderly conduct” if what you are lawfully doing upsets someone else? This could be the new tar & feathers folks! One with a much lower threshold too!

At least the butcher was smart enough to tell the police the truth: that the animal was dispatched elsewhere and of course he had NOT discharged a firearm within city limits, which would certainly have been illegal….

if that is the law there. Not the law by me, btw.

Disorderly conduct definitely sounds like a convenient catch-all. Uncool.

Was the Cop from California? I didn’t think OGDEN where my mom grew-up had become so non-rural.

As much as I hate the recent developments in Californian emigration, I feel sorry for most animal rights activists. They didn’t ask for any of this, they probably realize just how stupid their ideology is, and every hunter and his dog now hates their ass.
Aside from a couple of ALF members (who are to be found attacking medical research facilities), most of these guys get to choose between rolling with the entire thing against their choosing or admitting that their incisors and canines were designed for eating meat.

And seriously, where are you going to go when you run out of soy products!?

Processing your own beef is not uncommon where I grew up, even today.
I hung a deer off the tv antenna tower beside the house to dress it. Got pictures of it. So?
Mrs. Grundy ought to roll back by my house. I’ve used a hammer to put them down. I can teach her a few things. It really doesn’t come that way, wrapped in cryovac, and it doesn’t particularly spook the neighbors like a .45 might.

We have a good sized herd of Angus cattle and my wife won’t let me butcher one for us or even take it to a local butcher to be prepared for our use.
We can sell them to feed lots, but not slaughter and eat our own cattle.
But it’s her farm and I just pick cotton on it.

The caller then reported hearing the cow’s audible mooing, followed by what sounded like a gunshot, said Police Lt. Troy Burnett. Then the mooing stopped.
I don’t know why, but I found that to be rather funny.

“The caller then reported hearing the cow’s audible mooing, followed by what sounded like a gunshot, said Police Lt. Troy Burnett. Then the mooing stopped.”
After the shot, the cow calmly walked down the driveway and off into the sunset. Later recordings of the mooing were translated as “No! I’ll harvest you!”

Yer a wise man Chris.

Funny story, years and years ago on Halloween my dad got a call from the Sheriff’s Department regarding a steer hit in the head on the side of the road by one of the deputies. They couldn’t find the owner and some of the guys knew him and that we processed all of our deer. They called him out to take it. Yeah, that’s a completely different ball game. So, steer hanging in a tree hooked to the truck, bloody up to his elbows on the side of the road on Halloween people kept slowing and staring. He always said the SO must have had the best laugh ever that night from all of the calls they must have gotten.

How the hell did I miss this? It’s in the city (my the city).
September 8th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
HAHA! not only is it in the city (my the city), but it’s only a few blocks from me. Hell yes!

Tango, walk over and ask when the barbecue is and if you can bring anything.
