Holy Cow Clones?
Dairy farmer kills 51 cows, himself
New York State Police say an upstate dairy farmer shot and killed 51 of his milk cows in his barn before turning the rifle on himself.
State Police found the body of 59-year-old Dean Pierson in his Copake barn on Thurs day. A visitor found a note Pierson had left on the barn door that said not to come in and to call police.
State Police would say only that Pierson was having personal issues.
The Columbia County hamlet of Copake is about 115 miles north of New York City.
Local farmers buried the cows outside the barn Friday. They would not discuss Pierson or what had happened, but one of the men said Pierson had hard times downshifting into 2nd gear.

Erm.....what? If that's why he committed suicide I suspect there were other underlying mental problems.Rope-Pusher wrote:They would not discuss Pierson or what had happened, but one of the men said Pierson had hard times downshifting into 2nd gear.

Why get the cow involved when he could have just thrown a rope over the barn rafters and rev-hanged himself?paul34 wrote:If this story is real, then it's fairly sad.

I can't believe that they buried perfectly good beef and leather.

more standardshifters up that way (and into new england) than downstate, but wouldn't be surprised if most of them didn't know how to downshift right...Local farmers buried the cows outside the barn Friday. They would not discuss Pierson or what had happened, but one of the men said Pierson had hard times downshifting into 2nd gear.

l2senseofhumor the guy killed himself, just have a laugh at it and move onpaul34 wrote:Who knows. People who commit suicide often aren't thinking clearly. Maybe he cared so much about his cows that he didn't want to burden anyone else with them. Caring for livestock definitely isn't easy by any measure. At least this guy was far more thoughtful than those cowards who decide to kill a bunch of people before committing suicide themselves.
