One of the most notable aspects of the behaviour of cows is their traditional hostility towards humans, which is often expressed by setting fire to human possessions. Many of the world's great cities were burned down by cows, including Rome, London, and Paris, Texas. Possibly the best known recent bovine conflagration was created by the cow of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary, which burned down much of Chicago in 1871.

| - One of the most notable aspects of the behaviour of cows is their traditional hostility towards humans, which is often expressed by setting fire to human possessions. Many of the world's great cities were burned down by cows, including Rome, London, and Paris, Texas. Possibly the best known recent bovine conflagration was created by the cow of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary, which burned down much of Chicago in 1871. Ever since man started building houses, cows have been trying to burn them down. Cow arson was one of the most persistent threats to civilization from the bronze age up to the early 20th century. While modern segregation of cows to rural areas has done much to lessen cow arson, it remains a dangerous problem, especially in less developed nations.
