Cow destroyed in Welshpool after dash for freedom
A cow which escaped from a Welshpool livestock market and ended up roaming the grounds of a private home has been destroyed. The cow escaped from the market early this morning and wandered down public roads into a nearby estate.
Its flight triggered safety concerns for both the public and the police who were sent in pursuit of the animal. It was eventually decided that the safest way to deal with the problem the cow represented was to kill it.
