MOSCOW - Several weeks ago Russian rescue workers picked some Japanese fishermen out of the sea and detained them after they claimed their vessel had sunk after being hit by a cow, a German newspaper reported.
"Members of the Russian forces stole a couple of cows and transported them in a plane. During the flight the cattle got out of control. The crew felt forced to throw the cows out in order to avoid a crash," the daily Hamburger Morgenpost reported, citing German diplomatic sources.
