I’m on holidays. What better time to have a little fun?
Kudos to the York Regional Police, and not just for their stressful work on the front line performing valuable community service. They deserve credit for their sense of humour. In late May, they received reports of cows on the road. They relayed the message to the public in a memorable way.
COWS – Reports of two cows on the loose on Kipling near King Vaughan Rd. Mooove out of their way #YRGoneWild Officers will be attending.

And provided regular updates.
COW UPDATE – Early information from officers is that these bovines are known to police and are repeat offenders. Udderly unacceptable.

And the public responded:
You mean…COW-vincing @YRP ?

The police officers had to learn a new skill quickly.
COW UPDATE – 3 officers on scene handling road closure and wrangling duties. Wrangling definitely not in the training manual #YRPGoneWild

Cows were just the beginning for the York Regional Police. A few days later, a black bear was on the loose.
PUBLIC HAZARD: Srigley St. and Lemar Rd, New for a reported black bear. Police in area.rf220

The police played that one straight. But then, unless the bear is Yogi, you don’t want to play around with bears. Cows, in general, are much more fun.
A little cow humour for you. Just be-cows I can.
Thanks for the chuckles
A little summer fun.
Kudos to the York Police for seeing the funny side of their work.
I know, right? I love their sense of humour.
Nice to know your local police force has a sense of humor. Hope they cows got back home. 🙂
I grew up on a farm, and we drove our cattle from one farm to another for pasture every summer. We were always very relieved when that job was finished.)
