Cow's head freed from washing machine
Royal Society of the Cruelty of Animals spokeswoman Jo Barr said the group's workers were called to Cornwall County after a young cow came across the machine in an area field and investigated it a little too closely, The Times of London reported.
"It is one of the more unusual things we had had to rescue an animal from," Barr said. "Young cows are quite curious, and she probably thought there was some food inside the drum."
RSPCA inspector David Hobbs, who rescued the trapped animal, told the Times the incident was a lesson about properly disposing of unwanted items.
"If people disposed of their rubbish properly many animals would be saved from injury and death," he said. "A large proportion of the injuries are caused by carelessly discarded rubbish and fishing litter."

The RSPCA stands for "Royal Society for the PREVENTION of Cruelty to Animals" not "Royal Society of the Cruelty of Animals".
