Pregnant cow injured in drive-by shooting
The reckless discharge of gunshots by unknown occupants of a dark blue 212 car, Saturday evening last, at Coffee Grove, Essequibo Coast has injured a pregnant cow.
The shot heifer
Owner of the cow, O’neil Cooke, said his pregnant cow was tied in Bakery Street, at Coffee Grove. The taxi driver said that he later learnt from one of his neighbours that several male occupants drove by and discharged several shots at the heifer.
A bullet remains inside the cow.
An examination revealed that the injured cow was discharging blood in her urine. A veterinary officer who inspected the injured animal failed to locate the bullet. The veterinarian has said that both the heifer and her unborn calf could die.
Cooke said that he has since lodged reports with the police at Anna Regina. The ranks who visited the scene did not recover any spent shell.
The heifer is due to give birth in two weeks’ time. Cooke said he does not have any grievances with anyone. He described the shooting as reckless behaviour of a few unknown persons who were intoxicated.
Cooke added that a stray bullet could have possibly hit some innocent person.
