Cows, as a species, hold the race of mankind in total contempt. They long to see us destroyed, or perhaps enslaved, by means of their evil machinations. > > How do I know of this?

As I approached this obstacle, one by one, the cows took notice of me and fixed me with their awful glare. Whilst I had been otherwise engaged in my frolics upon the nearby sandstone, the cows had liberally peppered the ditch with cowpats, rendering it nigh on impassable. Their plan was finally revealed to me - they meant to see me besmirched with foulness and see me brought low before my fellow man on the long trudge through the town. Mocking were their glances as I took a few steps backwards, before launching myself into a running leap over the vile trap that they had prepared for me. > > I cleared the trench with mere inches to spare. > > The cows, thwarted, returned to their brooding contemplation of the downfall of mankind. > > Be wary, fellow Rinkies.

They've even managed to convince the Russians to help them in Bombing the Japanese...
Earlier in 1997, the dazed crew of a Japanese Trawler were plucked out of the Sea of Japan clinging to the wreckage of their sunken ship. Their rescue, however, was followed by immediate imprisonment once authorities questioned the sailors on their ship's loss. They claimed that a cow, falling out of a clear blue sky, had struck the trawler amidships, shattering it's hull and sinking the vessel within minutes.
They remained in prison for several weeks, until the Russian Air Force reluctantly informed Japanese authorities that the crew of one of its cargo planes had apparently stolen a cow wandering at the edge of a Siberian airfield, forced the cow into the plane's hold and hastily taken off for home. Unprepared for live cargo, the Russian crew was ill-equipped to manage a now rampaging cow within its hold. To save the aircraft and themselves, they shoved the animal out of the cargo hold as they crossed the Sea of Japan at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
