Herd of Cows Eat Themselves to Death After Consuming Entire Winter Rations in Just One Day
27th September 2016
Half of a herd of cows ate themselves to death after escaping from their pen in Western France.
Not quite sure how a cow eats itself to death.
However, the food they ate was a type of high energy supplement which can be harmful if consumed in large quantities, and the cows proceeded to eat their way through an entire winter’s worth of the food in one sitting.
Ah, that explains it.
Mr Vaillant then had to helplessly watch as his herd began to die, despite enlisting help from a vet. In total, 22 cows died from over-eating. The remaining 24 animals can no longer produce milk.
Let that be a lesson to us all.

A more common problem than you might think. Happens to horses, too. My sister lost a horse that way.

I should think a horse a difficult thing to lose. They’re pretty large.
