| Lesbian cow study udderly serious |
| 2004-09-02 |
| THE lesbian love life of domestic cattle has prompted a fact-finding mission to Malaysia's central highlands to study the world's last remaining herd of wild cattle. Australia's only professor of animal welfare, Clive Phillips from the University of Queensland, is hoping a basic study of Malaysia's endangered Gaur cattle will help explain why domestic cows mount each other during fertile periods. "With domestic cattle the cows show mounting homosexual behaviour when they are on heat and the wild cattle don't show that," Professor Phillips said. He said factors such as stress, a selective domestication process which favoured outwardly sexual cows and the number of animals on heat in a small enclosure, could explain why domestic cows displayed this deviation in sexual behaviour. |

| #5 I don't mind if the guy is studying the last (did you note LAST) remaining herd of wid cattle for genetic or other reasons. But for the reason of two cows humping one another. I think this gut never got invited to the frat parties |

| #4 tu - lol! Glad it isn't my tax dollars hard at work on this one. A more interesting question might be why Prof Phillips is so interested in the sexual behavior of cows. |

| #1 I think it's because the wild cattle wait until you're not looking, Clive. It's obvious they have better manners than you. And I believe they're probably smarter than you are, too. Abnormal, indeed. Infer from this paragraph what you can do with your study. |
