Was the revenge plan too elaborate to work ?

In a camping of Dordogne a dispute happened last week between campers, and a 37 years old woman decided to take a revenge à la Attila on her neighbors, a definitive one. She elaborated a plan with the help of a lot of weed and a few speed pills. She put the fire to 350 big haystacks that were in a shed near the camping. The arson was not the goal : in the field around the shed there were 150 cows, and she was thinking that the cows, frightened by the fire, would jump in the camping to devastate the tents of her bad neighbors ! Fine revenge, isn’t it ?
It did not happened, the cows refused to cooperate, the firemen came quickly, they noticed the woman and called the gendarmerie. She was under drugs at a point that the gendarmes sent her to a hospital before questioning her the day after. And she confessed her incredible plan. She will be judged next January.
Like Stephen Hawking said in 2010 : «We just look at ourselves to see how intelligent life turns into something we would not like to meet.»

@LadyDuck Those town folks may be funny. Last day, I was speaking about a couple complaining about a church bell, and I wrote that they would soon complain against cicadas, and it has happened : another couple asked a pesticide to a mayor to shut up these damned cicadas. I was tempted to start another discussion about it, but it would be too much stupidity during the same day.

@topffer Thanks for clearing it up ! I don't know much about Attila the Hun.Over here it seems that Genghis Khan(the 13th century ) is more famous than Attila the Hun.

She was obviously too strung out to think well. The cows are probably accustomed to seeing stupid stuff that humans do.

This cow won a prize at our "Salon de l'agriculture." It is a very old species, Aubrac, genetically supposed to be issued from aurochs locally domesticated. It was a milk cow at start, and the milk was used to produce a specific cheese, but the quantities were too low, and it had quite disappeared after WWII. They crossed the Aubrac with Charolais, and it is now bred for meat.
