Getting into a muddy trench was easier than getting out for a
pregnant cow rescued by animal-control officers in Pattaya.
Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan staffers were called to Soi Bunsamphan
April 10 to help 6-year-old “Ee Daeng” after she wandered into the hole
at a condominium construction site near the railroad tracks.
About a meter deep, 70 meters wide and 100 meters long, the trench was
dug to install underground supports. But the cow, apparently thirsty,
went in for a drink, then couldn’t get her pregnant body out.
Officers tied a rope around the beast and guided it up a wooden plank to
safety. Owner Samat Wangcharoen said the cow had wandered off while
grazing in the area.
