Cops have beef with cow killers who battered bovine

PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- Make no mis-steak -- these killers are monsters. A Phoenix family was devastated when their pet cow was murdered after being battered by a barrage of softballs fired from a potato launcher. Cops say the family found the critically injured animal Friday morning. 
"The early indications are that perhaps this cow was injured by someone who may have thrown these softballs at this cow," said Sgt. Steve Martos. "Unfortunately, as I understand it, this cow had to be put down by a vet."
Neighbors are also said to be furious that anyone would harm the friendly animal.
