Moroccan activists widely circulated a humorous video showing an attempt by the owner of a crane to transport a live cow using his crane to place it on the roof of a multi-story house. Apparently, the owner of the cow, which he chose as a sacrifice for the Eid al-Adha holiday, was unable to get it to climb the stairs of the house, prompting him to use a crane designed for loading and lifting construction equipment and heavy weights.
The video depicted the earnest attempt to move the cow, which was blindfolded, but the poor animal, apparently terrified, began to relieve itself on the spectators who had gathered to witness the unusual scene. The footage elicited a fair amount of sympathy for the cow, with some suggesting more effective solutions, while many commentators mocked the use of technology in what they deemed human folly. Others remarked that the poor cow had achieved its dream of flying.
