Gurnee cow proves to be a Moo-dini
A clever cow has been on the run in Gurnee for several weeks, causing people to report seeing the animal around the city. The cow escaped from a farm on Delaney Road when a gate was accidentally left open.
Brian Smith, the deputy police chief, reported a “number of sightings” of the cow, and said the department has contacted Manvil Martinez, the animal’s owner. Smith said the department has had its share of animals that needed to be rounded up and returned to their owners, but a cow was a new one.
The animal has apparently wandered across busy thoroughfares like Grand Avenue and Route 41 without being injured. Smith says the cow must have crossed at night, otherwise the department would have been flooded with phone calls. It is speculated that the cow followed the railroad tracks.
In order to get out of her stall, the nameless cow apparently bent a bar around a feeding trough that is almost four feet above the ground. She then bent a lower bar down, and squeezed through the opening. Martinez says that normally an animal that gets loose returns to its home, but this particular bovine has apparently gone on the run.
Gurnee residents have rounded up animals before, including a horse that ran for miles before it was caught.
Situations like this might be resolved if officials put up flyers to alert residents to be on the lookout for runaway animals.
