Over the weekend a cow washed up on the shores of Victoria and typical, it took no less than three levels of government to deal with the situation,
Cow Washes Up on Victoria Beach
My favourite line from the story:
“It was originally thought to be a dead horse, but once the officers got there they were able to determine it was a cow,” said Victoria police acting Sgt. Jamie McRae Sunday.
Well done city.

Now this isn’t the first time something bizarre has washed up on our fair beach. Zoner Liz sent me some pictures from a six-gilled shark!
Hey guys,
You were talking about how they don’t know what to do with the dead cow that got washed up at Clover Point. I have a suggestion: http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/destroyed-in-seconds-beached-whale-explosion.html
It’s a matter of precedent since apparently that’s how they dispose of washed up whales.
Incidentally, around this time last year a dead six-gill shark was washed up at Mile Zero (near Clover Point). We took it back to the dive shop at Ogden Point and it sat our dunk tank until the UVic biology department got it a week later. Here are some pics for shits and giggles of it. I wonder what will get washed up next year? A dinosaur?
Later,
Liz
Some Zoners thought it might be a good idea to blow the thing up like they tried to do to a whale in Oregon back in the olden days. Hilarity ensues.
Go with yourself.
