A German celebrity: cow defeats heat-seeking camera, George Clooney of bulls
BERLIN // A cow called Yvonne has gained international fame and won thousands of Facebook friends by escaping slaughter and trotting off into a Bavarian forest where she has been eluding her pursuers for almost three months.
Her resourcefulness and cunning has astounded the police, hunters and animal-rights activists since the six-year-old brown and white cow smashed her way through an 8,000 volt electric fence at a farm near the Alpine village of Aschau and went wandering.
Even the most sophisticated attempts to track her have failed. Last week a helicopter equipped with a heat-seeking camera went on several sorties to comb the forest near the village of Zangberg, 16 kilometres from Aschau, where she is thought to be hiding.
Then activists resorted to a love trap. A towering black ox called Ernst, so good-looking that he was dubbed "the George Clooney among cattle", was brought to the edge of the woods to lure her out.
