Freedom Cow
A British businessman Kosh Patel is offering a $15,000 reward to bring the cow to South Wales to serve as a mascot for a new social enterprise to promote vegetarianism.
Yvonne, a “freedom-fighting” cow, has been dubbed Germany’s most famous fugitive.
The six-year-old Bavarian cow, described in the media as an “invincible cow” and “nimble as a weasel,” escaped from a slaughterhouse in Zanberg, Germany, moments before slaughter on May 24 and has been eluding capture since. Her headline-hitting antics have been caught on CCTV and become a national obsession.
Police were ordered to shoot her on sight, incensing animal lovers and a German tabloid Bild has offered a $15,000 reward for her safe return.
Initially, local authorities gave hunters permission to shoot her on sight, provoking outrage from animal rights activists. A Greman court issued a temporary injunction to block her from being killed.
