Oh yeah! My Dad and uncle described this as a real problem in rural areas in the 1930’s - 50’s. Say you visit your kinfolk in the country and you have to drive through a cow pasture to get to their house. They had stories about cars left cow-accessable and having patches licked down to bare steel. :eek: Think about a cat’s tounge then think 10X bigger and 10X rougher! ---

The police have got to come down hard on things like this. Once cows get the idea that vandalism isn’t noticed, next thing there are muggings, home invasions, drug dealing and hay stolen from the barns. ---
