Learning from history: Containing Nazi Cows

[Jangler]

 

A farmer who owns Britain's only Nazi cows has been forced to cut the size of his herd - because they are too aggressive.

The once-extinct aurochs were brought back to life by Adolf Hitler's scientists in the 1930s after officially dying out 4,000 years ago.

They arrived in Britain for the first time in 2009 when farmer Derek Gow imported 13 'Heck' cattle from Belgium to his Upcott Grange Farm at Lifton near Okehampton.

It was the first time the creatures had set foot on British soil since the Bronze Age.

But Mr Gow, 49, has now been forced to get rid of seven of the cows as he could not handle their "incredibly aggressive" nature.

He said: "We have had to cut out herd down to six because some of them were incredibly aggressive and we just couldn't handle them.

"What the Germans did with their breeding programme was create something truly primeval."

Hitler saw the 'super cows' as a symbol of German and Aryan might and tasked leading geneticists, brothers Heinz and Lutz Heck, to bring the aurochs ''back into existence''.

The pair traced the species' descendants to domestic breeds and managed to ''pull the wild genes out'' in a Jurassic Park-style experiment.

The South Park game had Nazi cows. That's what I assume these look like.
