Forest Service Considers Blowing Up Frozen Cows That Died Inside a Mountain Cabin
It may take explosives to dislodge a group of cows that wandered into an old ranger cabin high in the Rocky Mountains, then died and froze solid when they couldn't get out."Obviously, time is of the essence because we don't want them defrosting," Segin said.
Whoever owns the cabin must have a steak in this.
So they'd better get a moove on..?
I can't see what's wrong with taking a chainsaw up to a lonely cabin in the woods.
Someone is sure to have a beef with it.
Don't have a cow, man.
This needs to be milked for as many jokes as possible. But only post the cream.
"i cin get 'cha there. gettin' back. that's yer concern."
It's kind of unnerving that there's a generation of carcass-removal 'experts' that obviously have never seen the exploding whale video.
Today, I met the younger generation... and she quoted most of the exploding whale footage to me. I think I'm in love.
Hmmm, that explosive bit didn't work out too well with the whale...
The Forest Service actually publishes a manual on how to effectively detonate an animal (better scans of the images here). Also, "Blaster Examiner" is apparently a real job title.
That looks like something that belongs on The Onion.
This reminds me of the first time I saw the exploding whale on your website circa 1994.
"Because they're on land that is considered to be wilderness, it's illegal to use any motorized equipment to remove them."
Today I learned.
