More Cows

Because of all of the cow related questions we have received, we have decided to bring you more of these fascinating and secretive creatures. We still don't know what they are doing or why they are all walking away from the Alter Mound at Ritan Park, but we hope to someday understand our strange cow friends and bring their story to light.

Regarding the cows... they look similar to the figures that other major cities erected. I'm pretty sure that Chicago did cows (Mrs. O'Leary's cow) and Cincinnati did pigs (Cincinnati nickname is porkopolis - go figure). For instance, in Cincinnati, a company would sponsor a pig and decorate it to represent their company. The hospital I work at decorated their pig in a hospital uniform and put a stethoscop around it's neck. The Cincinnati airport's pig look like a Flying pig Baron, etc... These figures were placed around downtown for tourist and locals to see. After about 6 months, the city took the pigs down and gave them back to the companies to do whatever with them.

Maybe Beijing is doing something similar???
