Whoa, twist on murder-suicides
I guess this is better than the usual murder-suicides where desperate people kill their families and then themselves...?

Copake: State police in New York said an upstate dairy farmer shot and killed 51 of his milk cows in his barn before turning the rifle on himself.
State police found the body of 59-year-old Dean Pierson in his Copake barn Thursday.
A visitor found a note Pierson had left on the barn door that said not to come in and to call police.
The Register-Star reported state police would only say that Pierson was having personal issues.
The upstate hamlet of Copake is about 115 miles (185 kilometers) north of New York City.
Farmers buried the cows outside the barn on Friday. They would not discuss Pierson or what had happened, but one of the men said these are hard times to be a farmer.
