"COPAKE, N.Y. (Jan. 22) -- State police in New York say an upstate dairy farmer shot and killed 51 of his milk cows in his barn before turning the rifle on himself.

State police found the body of 59-year-old Dean Pierson in his Copake barn on Thursday. A visitor found a note Pierson had left on the barn door that said not to come in and to call police.

State police would only say that Pierson was having personal issues.

The Columbia County hamlet of Copake is about 115 miles north of New York City.

Local farmers buried the cows outside the barn Friday. They would not discuss Pierson or what had happened, but one of the men said these are hard times to be a farmer."

The thread title reminded me of this image I saw yeseterday:

Anywho, poor cows. :(

Here's the story from our local newspaper... not much more as far as motive, but a bit more detailed overall.

Well, that is one way to become recognized. Fight the power brother! I bet PETA put him up to it.

*if you kill all your cows and then yourself we will pay you 9 million dollars*

Talk about beating your meat.

How do we know that it wasn't the cows who killed him then killed themselves? Were there any witnesses?Vic-Ferrari

Tough time to be a farmer.

This thread is udderly out of control...

no... i did it! *jumps out of window*

At first I was like :lol:, but then I was like :(.

I wonder why he killed the cows..maybe he's a speciest...and the cows weren't giving him the best quality of milk possible..so he decided to massacre them all as a message to all the other dairy cows..:x
