Antioch Animal Services which is located in California mentioned on social media that about 60 cattle were set loose at a farm close to Gentrytown Park on Sunday June 8 around 2am local time. Thanks to the teamwork of the animal services, local residents, Antioch police officers worked together to round up the majority of cows and return them to the farm where they escaped. Whether the cows were released on purpose or not is still a mystery. So far none of the loose cattle were harmed by humans. Link is upi.com/2191749570689 via @upi

Most likely the cows were released on purpose.

They were probably looking for someone to milk them or running after a handsome bull

Loose cows could be a big danger to traffic.

That is true since the authorities fear that cows could be harmed by motor vehicles.

That's a lot of cows to round up, and it would have cost a lot of resources to do so. I wonder if they sent a bill to the farmer who owned them, as he perhaps needs to learn a lesson not to allow his cows to escape like that.

I am sure that the farmer will be billed by the city for allowing the cows to get loose.
