SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A pregnant cow that got loose at the California State Fair has been shot and killed.
State Fair general manager Brian May says the animal broke free of its enclosure Tuesday morning and stampeded through the fairgrounds where exhibitioners and concessionaire were setting up.
The incident occurred before the gates had officially opened for the day. No one was injured.
Police and veterinarians at the scene tried to corral and tranquilize the animal, but May said the tranquilizer gun didn't fire properly.
Police ultimately shot and killed the cow, whose calf did not survive.
Fair operations were not affected.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
