Moohunt: Runaway cow captures German hearts

[AsahinaKimi]

BERLIN (AP) -- A runaway cow named Yvonne is on the loose in Germany and the manhunt -- or moohunt -- for the Bavarian bovine has captivated the country.

The freedom-loving cow ran away from a little farm in Bavaria in May and has managed to hide successfully in the forests of southern Germany ever since -- despite her sturdy 1,500-pound (700-kilogram) figure.

Locals have reported a few sightings of the brown dairy cow with the white head, but every time search teams have tried to capture her, Yvonne had already hoofed it from the area. A helicopter equipped with a thermal camera used in search-and-rescue missions returned Thursday empty-handed.

Searchers have tried to lure Yvonne into the open with food, with the bellows of her son Friesi and her sister Waltraud, even with a prospective mate named Ernst. Scores of volunteers are combing upper Bavaria's woods for her.

3. Good for her! Take the freedom...forget Ernst.

But visit your sister and son every now and then...and break them out!

"In the wake of all the attention, the order to shoot Yvonne has been suspended."

GOOD!!
