Pelham Police Zap Wandering Cow With Taser, Owner Furious

Last Saturday, one of Wendy Bordeleau's two cows got loose from her 30-acre farm. About a dozen people were trying to coral 800-pound Houdini across busy Mammoth Road when police showed up with their tasers. "They said 'We're going to tase her, we're going to taser it,' and the group was pleading with them. Everyone was kinda yelling, 'Please don't taser the cow, it's only going to make it worse...." zapped at least four times. "It didn't really affect the cow all that much. It kind of realized that something had hit it and that it was comparable to a bee sting."
