Killer Cows

Good thing they don’t live in Wisconsin.

Seven schoolgirls have sparked a major search and rescue mission - after being frightened by a herd of cows.

The terrified pupils, aged 14 and 15, were on a geography field trip in Swanage, Dorset, when they sent out an SOS.

They were dropped off three miles from their outdoor centre and told to find their way back using a map.

But the teenagers, from St Albans in Hertfordshire, got stuck on a hill when they came across a herd of cows in a field blocking their way.

A coastguard rescue team, police and an ambulance were scrambled to rescue them after one of the girls called for help on her mobile phone.

1. Completly hopeless, helpless, whatever you want to call it.  I guess they were never taught a small rock and a loud noise will get the cows a movin.  I guess that’s not taught in geography.

2. Wait, wait, wait.  Did you say a Coast Guard Rescue Team?

   What manner of mercows were these?
