More bovine madness spotted by Julia M in the Evening Standard:
Cows are to be introduced to a London park - in order to save money on the cost of cutting the grass.
The herd of red poll cattle will be munching their way through foliage in Bedfords Park, Having, as part of a biodiversity programme.
Havering Council said the move will cut costs from paying park keepers to cut the grass and using expensive tractors, saving around £300,000.
It is one of the first councils in London to call in a team of ‘expert grazers’ to take over from traditional grass and hay cutting techniques, with similar schemes in Hornchurch Country Park and Rainham Marshes.
Wildlife experts said red poll cattle are known for having a gentle temperament and no horns, making them ideal for grazing in public spaces.
Cattle don't need horns to kill people, weight of numbers, head butting and kicking usually do the trick.
