A cow in Serbia fled to the top storey of an apartment building to avoid a randy bull's advances.
''In principle, they could have done without us.''
The animal was so tired of the horny beast that she found herself on the fifth storey of the flat complex in the village of Lesogorsk with the bull waiting at the bottom.
Firefighters spent a whole three minutes getting the animal down by fixing a rope to its horns and pulling it, but they were clearly frustrated that some of the local bystanders and police officers, who were watching the action unfold, didn't attempt to help the animal.
Yevgeny Smirnov, fire station shift chief, was quoted as saying: ''When we arrived there were dozens of people outside the building. There were members of the local administration, police and many bystanders.
''In principle, they could have done without us.''
