A source told MailOnline: 'The police handed her over to two men who were there when it happened. They offered to look after Beau Lucy and took her to a farm near Heathrow.
'But when the owner got there, it was a bit of a struggle getting her back. They insisted on being paid for keeping her, and he had no choice but to cough up.'
Hardly surprising, as they turned out to be travellers.
A Surrey Police spokesperson said: 'Following the injury caused to the cow, two members of the public offered to use their trailer to transport her to a nearby smallholding accompanied by police. 'Once identified, the owner then collected the cow from the smallholding. The members of the public have sought costs for providing this transportation service.
'Surrey Police intends to make a compassionate payment to the owner of the cow. This will cover both the cost of recovery of the cow from the scene and the cost of immediate critical care for the cow by a veterinarian.
'The latest update we have on the condition of the calf is that she continues to recover under the treatment of a vet and has been reunited with her herd.'
You can't even decide if it's 'a cow' (it isn't but it sounds scarier) or 'a calf' (It is, making your action even more unnecessary).
I trust the two helpful men will pay tax on the payment demanded of the calf's owner. The Police know who they are (or rather, what names they gave to the Police, something which can differ from day to day in the traveller community), which should help HMRC tracking them down.I
ReplyDeleteAlso, did the farmer count the legs on the beast after collecting it?
I also believe that Elvis Presley is alive and well, and employed as a trolley collector by Asda in Farnborough.
