Epic

Chuckles spotted this tale in Takimag:

A cow, nicknamed “Libera” (free) by article’s author, had been on the loose now “for months” in the Apennine Mountains near the small city of Forlì where I live, and “quella enorme massa di 800 chili” (that enormous mass of 800 kilos) was charging anyone who approached it.

It was not that the cow had decided one day to become a bull, or a butch lesbian, or anything so boringly human. The cow’s feelings about its sexuality had nothing to do with it: The cow simply had enough of its life of slavery as a farm animal...

Well worth a read in full. I've no idea whether the story is true or is an elaborate hoax to trap cow-story aficionados. I've tried cross referencing to other articles, but the newspaper that seems to have run the original story is behind a paywall.
