Bitsy, a two-year-old cow that became a social media sensation in Brooke County, West Virginia after it escaped from its pasture, was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy Saturday who viewed it as a threat.

"I can rest assured that the public is a lot safer because of the decision I made," Brooke County Chief Deputy Scott Adams told WTOV 9.

But Bitsy's owner Mike Dillie said the cow was harmless and has escaped before to play with a neighbor's dog, only to return.

The cow was killed after being loose for several days where it had been spotted by locals at random locations, prompting conversations and photos on social media. But the cow never stood around long enough for its owner to retrieve it.

On Saturday, Bitsy's body was found with several bullet wounds to her face and neck. Dillie was told the cow was shot by deputies who confirmed they did when he called, according to WTRF.

"A cow on a roadway is very dangerous," said Adams. "We had to destroy the animal for the best interest of the public."

Adams also said they are contemplating charges against Dillie. They're just not sure of what yet.

So - we can add cows to the list of animals that cops are a-skeered of, along with goats, ponies, Chihuahuas, cats.

I have a year old bull. I keep him close to the house. If he gets loose he will have to be put down, either by me or a neighbor or a passing patrolman. That's just the way it is. He can't be led and he can't be pushed. If he hurts somebody I'll never get over it.

Same thing with my cows. They can be led but who knows how to do that anymore? And cows often get agitated when they are in strange places meeting strange people.

I watched the news report with the cow owner being interviewed. When he scoffed that his cow ate his neighbor's chicken feed I knew immediately who was to blame. The guy didn't care about his neighbor and that tells me that he didn't care about his cow, either.

Reminds me of rancher Jack Yantis (Idaho), who was killed by sheriff's deputies after they killed his bull that had just caused an automobile accident. It's a crazy story.

Brooke County Sherriff’s Department released a statement regarding the actions of a cow being shot yesterday.

I was sent on a call like this once. I decided to stop at my 10-42 (home) and retrieve my .308 hunting rifle. I arrived on scene, entered a 25 acre cornfield and located the rogue BULL... laying on some standing corn it had trampled down. I shot it between the eyes as he was trying to stand up, to avoid damaging meat.

I was told It charged after everyone that tried to wrangle it, prior to the farmer calling my department.

It took a bucket loader, to get the thing to the butchers. I heard they made all ground beef out of it.

I wasn’t even offered a steak... just a thanks from the farmer who was getting his property damaged by his neighbors bull.

My heart pumps piss for Dicktard, and his love for farm animals and his hate for cops.

Deckard saw there was “nothing wrong” In the aforementioned posted article with letting “Bitsy” [he “docile” cow owned by Mike Dillie who refused to do anything to corral the roving bovine] continue to “roam” on “Blacks Hollow Road” in “Wellsburg”.

In his absence of forethought, Deckard incomprehensibly failed to understand the “danger” the “roaming bovine” was to vehicular traffic and posted potentially great harm to the vehicle occupants.

Deckard has repeatedly said that he only has a “hate for ‘bad’ cops” and he restricts his posting to reflect that. That he determined Brooke County SD Deputy Matthew Adams to be a “bad cop” is once again a magnified exposé to his lying and stands as strong evidence that he indeed does hate and loves to ridicule all cops.

The Owner stated the cow has “repeatedly escaped” the confides of the fenced area.

It was the owner’s responsibility to get the animal back inside the fenced area and when contacted on ”several occasions” the owner refused to do anything to remedy the situation.

Why do you think it is the cops job to act Mike Dillie’s personal cowboys and be his roundup artists when it definitely is not?

It is unfortunate for you that evidence-based practice has consistently demonstrated it creates tremendous problems where your brain can't keep up.

Good grief, Deckard. read with rapt attention these yellow journalism articles and learn.

"Intermittent explosive disorder involves repeated, sudden episodes of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts in which you react grossly out of proportion to the situation. Intermittent explosive disorder is a chronic disorder that can continue for years, although the severity of outbursts may decrease with age.
