There is a force out there , call it God, Buddha, Mohammed,Krsna or all of the above and others; that controls life on this beautiful planet and looks after every liiving thing. Thankfully it was in the shape of a horse and found sanctuary at the right moment.

Has anyone been able to pull up a news story on this? Surely with that many cows killed and maimed there would be some mention of it somewhere?

I've googled cows, truck, hit by truck and have found nothing recent.
