Is it wrong to go cow tipping?

Question

They can get up, right? Don't they sleep on the ground?

Answer 1

no it isn't right we used to have dairy cows and if one would have died it would cost us any where for a good cow 1,000 to 4,000 dollars or even more for a cow and You would have one peeved off farmer if he would find out. But I don't think you could do it they are very heavy.

Answer 2

Actually YES it is wrong and also cruel. What has the cow done to YOU? Why would you do such a thing? There are many other ways to entertain yourself. Play a video game, watch TV, surf the net, play sports. I mean, the list of other more appropriate activities is freakin' endless.

Cow tipping is also highly unlikely. Consider this:
"Cows are large, and would be very difficult to tip, even for several people working together. A grown cow can be over 1.5 m (5 feet) high with a mass in the order of 540 kg (1,200 lb) all the way up to 900 kg (2,000 lb). By way of comparison, a typical sumo wrestler masses only 140 kg (310 lb). The four corners of a large "American-style" domestic refrigerator fairly closely approximate the spread of a cow's legs. If the refrigerator were cut down to 1.5 m (5 feet), filled with 400 kg (880 lb) of weights, and placed in a muddy field, tipping it would offer a comparable challenge to tipping a cow."

It is also a stupidly dangerous thing to attempt that can lead to hurting cows and yourself:
"Finally, attempting to tip a cow is a potentially dangerous activity. Despite the animal's reputation for being placid and slow-moving, a cow is easily capable of hurting someone when provoked or nervous; a herd of cows or a bull (easily mistaken for a cow in the dark) would be even more dangerous. It is also a common practice among dairy farmers to keep lactating cows inside and to keep pregnant cows who are not in milk outside until they calve. Thus, if cow tipping is attempted where most cattle are kept inside in large barns but only a few by comparison are kept in pasture, there is an increased chance that the target of cow tipping may be pregnant. Whether an attempt at cow tipping is effective or not, even startling a pregnant cow or heifer could cause her to run and fall unnecessarily and could damage the unborn calf or the freshening cow or heifer."

It's stupid and wrong, yeah. If you need someone to tell you that it's wrong, then man you got big problems I am afraid to tell ya! Leave the moo-cows alone.

Answer 3

A adult Holstein can weigh 1400 pounds. Frankly I think the whole cow tipping story stuff is just a myth. Have you tried to tip a car?

Answer 4

Hah Hah, We did this years ago and upon telling our farmer friend we were told right off , he was not impressed, he said the cow could have a heart attack, it was fun though

Answer 5

It is very wrong. If you weighed 500 pounds would you want to fall over?

Would you like a statue number with that?
