KOLKATA, India — When dozens of chickens went missing from a remote West Bengal village, everyone blamed the neighborhood dogs.

The family decided to stand guard at night on Monday at the cow shed which also served as a hen coop, after 48 chickens went missing in a month.

“Instead of the dogs, we watched in horror as the calf, whom we had fondly named Lal, sneak to the coop and grab the little ones with the precision of a jungle cat,” Gour Ghosh, his brother, said.

“The local vets said the cow was probably suffering from a disease but others said Lal was a tiger in his previous birth,” Ajit added.

You could feature him in a Chik-Fil-A commercial.

    I wonder how delicious a nice slice of veal from that cow would be. Why dont we have cowkin’s yet. Chiken and steak all in one cut of meat. Imagine the culinary possibilities!

    Interesting. I don’t know how well a ruminant can digest meat, but they can even if they don’t usually. People practising intensive farming have fed rendered fat, meat, blood, and bonemeal to cows. Not a good idea, since this isn’t what they tend to eat if left to their own devices, and the practise was banned in a number of jurisdictions in the wake of “mad cow disease”.

    The Tibetans used to train their horses to eat meat when the grazing was under snow. Sven Hedin, among others, observed it.

    Combine this with mad cow disease and I’d say “Houston, we have a problem”.

    Reminds me of squirrels, which are generally vegetarian, EXCEPT…
    It’s the exceptions that will get you. A squirrel mom with a drey full of new pups, for example, will sometimes go after protein (bird nests), for the simple reason that she needs the protein. No disease required.

    Maybe a cheap movie in there somewhere.

    Tiger, shmiger. I think the cow was my old friend, Andy Reid, in a past life. Sneaking up on chickens and eating them live sounds like that guy’s idea of a good three-day weekend. I’ve got other stories about him, too …
