Recently, in Colfax Township, Michigan; a man shot a killed a neighbour cow. He was hunting coyotes at the time. Authorities and the cow’s owner are skeptical as to how he could have mistaken the two animals. The county prosecutor is being urged to press charges due to the fact that hunting coyotes is illegal during deer season and hunting cows is illegal all the time. The owner of the cow feels that the man needs some sort of therapy that involves repeatedly looking at pictures of cows and coyotes so that he will be able to tell the difference in the future.
I know growing up on a farm it was sure easy to mistake the two creatures. This one time during calving season, I made a really big mistake. This one cow appeared to be having some trouble so I reached in there and helped pull the calf (which is not all that unusual). Then I put the cow and her calf in the barn for the night. The next morning my father asked me why the hell there was a mother coyote and her pup in the stall beside Bessie.

Thanks, although just about all of the credit should go to the developers of this template, Cutline.
