 If more cows start doing this, we are doomed. Revenge of the Cow.

Holy cow! Chicken is quite delectable

Kolkata - When dozens of chickens went missing from a remote West Bengal village, everyone blamed the neighbourhood dogs.
 
 But Ajit Ghosh, the owner of the missing chickens, eventually solved the puzzle when he caught his cow - a sacred animal for the Hindu family - gobbling up several of them at night.
 
 "We were shocked to see our calf eating chickens alive," Ghosh said by phone from Chandpur village.
 
 The family decided to stand guard at night on Monday at the cow shed which also served as a hen coop, after 48 chickens went missing in a month.
 
 "Instead of the dogs, we watched in horror as the calf, whom we had fondly named Lal, sneak to the coop and grab the little ones with the precision of a jungle cat," Gour Ghosh, his brother, said.
 
 Local television pictures showed the cow grabbing and eating a chicken in seconds and a vet confirmed the case.

That is bloody weird. Cow are herbivores (vegans).  My wild guess is that feathers sort of have the conistency of hay.
