I think that the fact that the cow was shot at 2pm and not 8am supports that they tried to handle the situation better.

I don't believe "Loose Cattle 101" is a training course at the Aylmer police academy. ;) I would even go so far to say that a good deal of cops that grew up in the Toronto area would not have been exposed to cattle any more than any other Toronto citizen.

Ever try to make a horse/pig/cow go somewhere it doesn't want to go? Trust me, it's not easy. Of course, even if they were available, cops wouldn't want to be running around with cattleprods (the most effective way). You'd have PETA down on them faster than flies on cowshait.
