Watch This Gang of Cows Break into a Grocery Store and Eat All the Vegetables


Hong Kong's feral cows are starting to help themselves to the fresh produce sections of local supermarkets.There are estimated to be about 1,100 wild cows roaming the streets of Hong Kong. That's according to the territory's Agriculture, Fisheries, and Conservation Department, who recently published a report acknowledging the difficulties of "ensuring that they coexist with local residents in harmony." For the most part, the feral cattle are tolerated so as long as they don't disrupt traffic, shit on the streets, or help themselves to fruit and vegetables in supermarkets.

But earlier this month, four cows shattered that peace agreement when they stormed the aisles of a local supermarket and raided the fresh produce section. Local newspaper Ming Pao reported that the wild animals entered the Fusion grocery store in Mui Wo at about 8 PM, headed straight for the fruit and vegetable shelves, and treating themselves to a feast. Footage posted to Facebook shows shoppers standing around awkwardly as the invaders ate up the supermarket's supply of greens. Eventually, staff and store patrons managed to corral the cattle out of the store.
