On the morning of the 10th, a cow sits inside a village house in Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do. These cows are reared in a nearby barn, and recently, due to heavy rain and river flooding, they floated in the water and then evacuated to the roof.

On the morning of the 10th, 119 soldiers rescue cattle on the roof of a village house in Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do.



The surviving cattle struggling for a day in the water did not step on the ground until after a full day on the roof.

On the roof of a house in a village in Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, which was submerged in water due to heavy rain, 119 rescue teams and a crane were deployed on the roof of the'Ox Rescue Operation'.

The cow, isolated on a crushed and pitted roof, struggled violently as an arrowhead containing sedatives flew into the buttocks and stuck.

Until yesterday, there were four isolated cows on the roof.

The roof, which could not support the weight of the cattle, fell off and fell to the floor one by one, and only one was left.

Among the cows that fell to the floor, two cows that luckily fell to the floor and the floor survived even though their legs were severely injured, but the cows that crashed on a pile of rubble caused by heavy rain died.

The rescue team climbed up the roof from the front and back of the house by climbing a ladder or tying themselves to a crane hook when the remaining cows were sedated on the roof alone and collapsed.

While trying to tie the hooks to the crane's hooks, the cow squeezed out the remaining force and showed vigilance, and the boring endurance began.

Rescue squads stood on the roof frame and watched the cows until their energy was drained, then tied to the steel frame of the building to prevent further resistance by tying a string around the neck and horns.

The senior crew quickly climbed onto the cow's back and hung thick ropes on the neck, front and hind legs to distribute the weight evenly.

After being hit by the first sedative arrow in the ass, the cow lasted an hour and 20 minutes, and was finally pulled up by a crane and lifted off the roof.

Some of the ropes loosened in the air, and the cow faced a crisis of falling to the ground, but it landed safely in the backyard of the house.

A veterinarian who volunteered to monitor livestock throughout Gurye said that the chances of the surviving cows living in health are not high.

The cows are showing signs of pneumonia due to the swollen river and rain.

An official from Gurye-gun said, "It seems that a lot of work will be needed not only to care for the surviving cows, but also to collect the corpses of dead cows from various places."
