Escaped cow: wanted dead or alive

Spotted by Julia M in The Local:

Animal rights activists are racing to try to find an escaped cow before hunters do - after Bavarian authorities issued an order to get her dead or alive.

The cow, named Yvonne, had been shipped from Austria to her new owner in Aschau, Bavaria on May 24, when she fought her way through an electrified fence and escaped into the woods. It seemed she would never be seen again - until last week the cow made a big mistake: She ran onto a road and was nearly hit by a police car.

After that, officials decreed that she must be killed for the sake of citizens’ safety, according to the Express newspaper. Two hunters are now roaming the forests trying to track her down. Animal rights activists are desperately trying to get to her before the hunters do...

That all seems a bit harsh, as the cow hasn't attacked anybody (yet).

PS, Yvonne is not to be confused with Elsa, who also went on the run and evaded capture for a month.
