Memorial vigil planned for shot Wallsend cow Bessie
Hundreds of people are expected to attend a memorial vigil for a cow which was shot dead by police marksmen.
The cow, nicknamed Bessie, was one of three which escaped Rising Sun Country Park in North Tyneside on Sunday.
A helicopter and six police marksmen tracked the trio - two were recaptured but Bessie was shot "in the interests of public safety".
The vigil is to take place at 18:00 BST on Friday, at a field in Chicken Lane, Wallsend.
More than 6,000 people have liked a Facebook page set up in her memory.
Those attending are asked to wear a cow onesie and bring a candle.

I'd imagine the vigilant are more concerned about an entire police force with an Augusta helicopter who can only manage 66.7% effectiveness in apprehending 3 milk cows escaped from a local petting zoo.

More senseless police brutality. And needless to say, the victim's skin was brown.

It looked like it was going for its gun, ... or at least thinking about going for its gun..

Insofar as cows think, that is. Who knows, they might have a rich interior life, ruminating about arcane philosophical concepts.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

At least they disposed of Bessie more humanely than they did this poor Australian cow in Vietnam..
