Apparently it was hit by a train, the skull snapped at the base of the crown, leaving the brain intact but taking the jaw.

[–]InspectorKowalski 261 points262 points ago

Can't imagine it lasted that long after.

[–]JackDostoevsky 10 points11 points ago

It does, and it is.

You can't fight the monsters, and you rarely see them directly -- if you watch them too long, your vision starts to go shaky and blurry.

[–]Nadialy5 2 points3 points ago

Plus if you look at them, it raises the chances of them seeing you. So you don't ever want to look at them.

Is that other dude bbqing the rest of the head while the cow just stands there?

[–]skonen_blades 27 points28 points ago

That happened to a chicken in the 20s and it lived for a year afterwards with proper care. A eyedropper of water into the neck hole every now and then or something like that.

[–]Veigar 24 points25 points ago

[–]Alypius 2 points3 points ago

How did he taste?

[–]InspectorKowalski 11 points12 points ago

I've heard about that but I can't imagine anyone would want to keep that cow going. Not to mention the amount of food it would need just to stay alive.

[–]NiteShadeX2 5 points6 points ago

Given how much a cow needs to eat, getting the feeding mechanisms to keep it alive would be an economic burden.

[–]lifesobreezy 505 points506 points ago

I hope they put it down, sad to see it suffer like that.

[–]Im_probably_drunk 24 points25 points ago

Oddly enough, I didn't see any signs that the cow was in pain.

[–]lifesobreezy 37 points38 points ago

Considering how it's missing most of its face, it can be hard to show pain.

[–]topazsparrow 16 points17 points ago

It's likely in shock and unable to feel anything at all really. Animals don't necessarily feel or show pain the exact same way we do.

[–]tiddercat 5 points6 points ago

It takes a bit of time after a trauma for pain to fully register. The brain also probably dumped every endorphin it had after an injury like that, or I sincerely hope so. Hopefully it did not suffer long.

[–]failbot30000 2 points3 points ago

"Man, I have one hell of a headache. The hell happened last night? I can't see. 'Carl! Wh-' Wait, I can't speak either. Man, what was in that weed I ate?"

[–]Luckyone1 23 points24 points ago

Just glad I couldn't hear this thing...i bet it was in tremendous pain

[–]iNeedMyKingButterfly 2 points3 points ago

Hear it...do what, exactly? What kind of noise would something like that make?

[–]Jackal_6 8 points9 points ago

gurlge gurgle ooooo

[–]1234blahblahblah 4 points5 points ago

But the weird thing is that it doesn't seem to care. It seems confused that it can't see but not in pain. I guess I'm expecting it to be running around aimlessly or at the very least laying down being still.

[–]IdLeicaRefund 46 points47 points ago

Thing is, if you're just walking about and that happens, who do you do to it without the danger of making the pain worse?

[–]grindle 338 points339 points ago

I'm not a cow, nor have I been hit by a train, but I don't think a lot of things would be significantly more painful.

[–]No_Im_Not_Really 285 points286 points ago

As a cow, I can attest that our heads are very well equipped to tolerate pain. But what's a train?

[–]CXgamer 33 points34 points ago

Mooooooooo. Mooooooooooooo. Moooo.

FTFY

[–]maddawg579 33 points34 points ago

What, we're just supposed to believe you're not a cow without any proof?

[–]augustschild 85 points86 points ago

teats or GTFO.

[–]parabox1 114 points115 points ago

pain does not matter at that point it is pain + time. so get the jack handle out of your trunk and beat the thing in the head until it is dead. I have had to do this 3 times with deer that have been hit by a car. ( only 1 time was my car )

[–]Vegacon 93 points94 points ago

Cow skulls are MUCH thicker than deer skulls, which is why the device they use for killing cattle leaves only a very small puncture wound on the animal (as it shoots out at a very high velocity). It would take 12+ whacks with a metal pipe to kill a cow, which would only torture the poor animal.

If you're interested in seeing what they use, watch "No Country for Old Men." The CO2 powered device that Anton Chigurh used is something used in putting down cattle.

Anyway, I would notify the owner as soon as possible. Unless you have a revolver, I wouldn't chance putting down a cow with a small caliber hand gun, even if shooting through the eye. It might not kill it right away.

Don't use a pipe, use something high caliber (either a powerful hunting rifle, a revolver, or another high caliber handgun). Otherwise, you're bound to inadvertently torture the poor animal worse than it already has been. A pipe would not work.


Honestly, the quickest method might be to find the owner as soon as possible and have him put it down.


[DISCLAIMER]

If an animal is injured, contact the owner or a nearby neighbor as soon as possible before doing anything else.

Even if the animal is terminally injured, you're not a professional, nor the owner, and it is up to them to make the decision on what to do. Even though the injury is horrific, always stop to think and talk before deciding a course of action.

Remember... Deer are wild (usually), so putting one down with a pipe is different than killing an injured animal that someone owns.

[–]ecksplosion 24 points25 points ago

The situation becomes even more tricky here, because the train knocked the cow's eyes off. Seeing as how the entire cow's head/face is a pile of blunt force trauma, a couple bullet shots through that carnage towards the brain would probably be less torturous than letting it stand there waving it's sinus meat in the air any longer.

But otherwise, you're right. Tire irons would be a less than ideal way to kill a cow that still has a face.

[–]iRottenEgg 12 points13 points ago

Ha.. Sinus meat.

[–]parabox1 42 points43 points ago

ya the ideal situation is a high powered gun but i generally do not drive around with my 308 in my trunk.

[–]thepurplemongoose 166 points167 points ago

damn liberal!

[–]Blowmeos 14 points15 points ago

Actually it takes very little to take a cow down, I work on a dairy farm and have butchered my own cows before. One bullet from a .22 can easily take a cow down, there's no way I could beat a cow to death, unless the thing is suffering and I had nothing else to do and it needed to be killed. Pigs on the other hand...better bring a cannon just to be sure.

[–]spunkymarimba 5 points6 points ago

Mmmm bacannon

[–]caleeky 10 points11 points ago

Agreed. Cutting its throat would probably be pretty effective as well, although you'd need to have a really sharp knife to be fast enough.

[–]scarabeetle101 8 points9 points ago

And it would have to stay still enough, which will be difficult considering its likely state of confusion and shock.

[–]batorade 5 points6 points ago

http://youtu.be/yWkjSU0U9rM?t=53s

wish I couldve found a better version of it on youtube

edit: people, it was a joke

[–]SuddenlySpiders 19 points20 points ago

I'm sure you can call animal control to euthanize it, since they don't think it be like it is, but it do. A gun would also work.

[–]tremens 8 points9 points ago

In the U.S., if it's on a park, call the park rangers. If it's in a rural area, contact the State Troopers, and in an urban area, Animal Control.

Be forewarned that you will most likely wait a long time, which is going to suck if you're sitting there waiting and watching an animal suffer.

Even if you do have a firearm, be careful about euthanizing an animal - discharging a firearm in city limits or on a park like that is most often a crime, and even out in the country counties can have ordinances and such that make it illegal. I personally still do it, but just be aware of it.

[–]Sex_E_Searcher 13 points14 points ago

Conveniently, we've developed numerous methods for killing cows, for some reason.

[–]dlq84 7 points8 points ago

Bloody steak, that's why.

[–]iceph03nix 2 points3 points ago

Most ranchers I know carry a gun in their truck to Euthanize injured animals. However, I don't know that that is who recorded this, since most of them don't carry video cameras. Could be a phone though.

[–]Le_Petit_Lapin 2 points3 points ago

Shoot it in the head. Don't let the poor thing suffer.

[–]Garrett52789 542 points543 points ago

I heard it was another cow on bath salts.

[–]boomandvibe 17 points18 points ago

I just imagined throwing handful of salt on the cow's face.

[–]TheAwkwardBanana 15 points16 points ago

Oh dear god, I can't even imagine that sort of pain.

[–]emperornibble 41 points42 points ago

Put that thing out of its misery.

[–]Tokugawa 10 points11 points ago

It seems more confused than miserable. But yeah, starving to death wouldn't be fun.

[–]emperornibble 14 points15 points ago

Just for future reference, if you ever see me like that put me to sleep.

[–]ATBvids 4 points5 points ago

This is one of those times where it doesn't have to look miserable, we just know.

[–]D3adkl0wn 117 points118 points ago

l'd like to take his face... off

seriously though, I hope someone put this poor creature down quickly.

[–]BreanaKathleen 40 points41 points ago

I was thinking this too. It must've been in so much pain.

[–]Mc_Whiskey 34 points35 points ago

wouldn't it go into shock like a human and probably not feel much pain like an adrenaline rush

[–]ss32 26 points27 points ago

The thing is, it's just chilling. If it was in a lot of pain don't you think it'd be running around or going apeshit on the ground?

[–]scarabeetle101 8 points9 points ago

It might be bleeding out slowly though, so it might be too weak to run.

[–]Last_Gigolo 3 points4 points ago

Or this could be a few minutes after the freak out.

I'm at a junction here. I managed to stop short of clicking your link, because frankly, anything which follows a comment like "I would've thought a partially decapitated head would bleed more" is going to be a risky click.

Who the fuck am I kidding, I'll be back in a minute...

Edit: It's clean. But it's one of those videos that makes me wonder what the I'm actually doing with my life after watching it the whole way through.

I was listening to the music video for One by Metallica when I clicked this. Right as the gif loaded the part where the man says "it's like a piece of meat that keeps on living" played and I was momentarily in awe of such a coincidence.
