Mary Bowerman of USA Today reports a lightning strike killed almost 20 cows in East Texas on Sunday, according to local reports.

“All of a sudden, a lightning bolt came down, and the cows just fell,” Benson told KLTV.

Benson told the news station, some of the cows got up and stumbled away, but others didn’t move.

The cows were killed in a lightning strike just days after more than 300 reindeer were killed by lightning during a storm in Norway.

Like the cows, the reindeer had congregated together during the storm on a mountain plateau.

Ashley Anderson, who owned the cows with her husband, said they were able to remove the bodies quickly and donated them to people who were able to use the meat.

Imagine the levels of E. coli O157 and other Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) in that sand for the kiddies to play in.

This picture from, axppp/ZUMA Press, shows a herd of cows resting on a beach in Corsica, France on Monday (May 24).

Faded Tribune reports that for years, authorities have been trying to put a stop to the packs of animals that regularly wander onto the streets of this sun-kissed island between France and Italy.

Nearly every day, the herds damage village property and frequently cause serious road accidents. Last year, authorities had to stop air traffic at Figari airport in southern Corsica after pigs invaded the main runway. A few months ago, a bull tripped off a cliff and landed on the terrace of a bar. In their attempts to end the stampede, mayors from towns across the island have called in veterinarians, military police and the central French government — all to no avail.

Local officials estimate that 10 000 cows and many more pigs roam the island, which is three times the size of Long Island. In recent months, mayors have passed bylaws giving wolf hunters the authority to shoot the rambling animals.
