PETA wants memorial for cows killed in crash

PETA—People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals—wants the state of Kansas to post a memorial sign at the spot on Interstate 70 where a crash killed dozens of cattle in April.

The request was made to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Thirty to forty cattle were killed April 26th when the truck they were in plummeted off I-70 in Kansas City, Kansas onto a street below.  The driver was injured and the truck burst into flames.  Some of the cows escaped, but others died in the crash or had to be euthanized.

PETA says a memorial sign at the site would remind tractor-trailer drivers of their responsibility to the animals they transport.
