Moose Jaw police say officers shot and killed a cow on the loose in the city Wednesday.

Police received reports of a cow causing trouble at various locations near the Fourth Avenue Bridge, a Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) news release said.

MJPS said the cow was a public safety risk. It was aggressive, travelled through nearby yards and hit a parked vehicle causing significant damage.

The cow evaded all capture attempts, according to the police service. Police say they deemed euthanizing it the only option after a conversation with livestock professionals. Police shot the cow and turned it over to a nearby livestock agency for transport.

No residents or police officers were injured, police say.

Fuming locals hit with £10k bill after breaking bizarre fence rule
Residents living by a picturesque marina have been ordered to pay £10,000 for a new fence - to stop them helping boat users with their shopping. People living in Albion Mill in Worcester have been banned from passing bags over the existing railings. To avoid a 20-minute walk carrying heavy bags, boat owners leave their shopping at metal railings on the opposite side of the pontoon where their boats are moored. They then walk around the apartments to access Diglis Marina and have their bags passed over the railings by kind-hearted Albion Mill residents. Apartment managers now plan to erect a 2m (6.5ft) high 35m (114ft) long fence to block off the pontoon after two people complained about boat owners trespassing. They say the current practice means boat owners access a private car park and say some people have been climbing over the metal railings. But furious residents claim they are being punished for helping boat owners.
