Cows To Help Stop Outdoor Sex Acts

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - What's a big cud-chewing Scottish cow have to do with preserving public decency?

According to the mayor of a small Dutch town, allowing Highland heifers to graze in a nearby nature reserve will help deter couples who have scandalized the upright citizens of Spaarnwoude with their open-air sex antics.

Mayor Ellen van Hoogdalem-Arkema said the brazen behavior of amorous outdoor enthusiasts has angered and embarrassed people walking their dogs in the reserve or taking their grandchildren for a stroll.

"Visitors experience great annoyance from people having sex in public and apparently the presence of the cows turns the people off having sex," the mayor said.

The idea of using cows to cool passions in the park originated from another nature reserve south of Amsterdam, which saw an unexpectedly serendipitous reduction in sex prowlers after allowing the cows to graze in its fields.

1. It's not the presence of the cows per se, I'm sure

It's the thought of your daliance taking place on a cow pie that has turned lovers off.

3. Anyone got some herefords for Denver's city parks?

I don't embarrass readily, but there is little will on the part of the police to deal with the young boys being exploited in the early morning and late evening. By contrast, no effort is spared to go after those "criminal" dog owners who dare to let their dogs off leash for a momentary romp when the parks are virtually deserted. :eyes:
