While most men would ask for a girl’s hand in marriage, the lack of women in a Russian village had a farmer petitioning President Vladimir Putin for a cow’s hoof in matrimony.
Farmer Boris Gabov from the Kemerovo region in southern Siberia said that since all the girls had left the small village for the sights the city had to offer, being an animal lover, a cow was the next best choice.
“All the girls have left our small village and moved to the city, so I cannot find a woman to be with. But I see the solution to the problem. I love animals very much and want to ask when we will be allowed in Russia to marry domestic animals, such as cows?” Fox News quoted Gabov, as telling MosNew.
Gabov reportedly petitioned Putin during a recent webcast in which Russians could send email directly to the president and ask him anything.
As for President Putin’s reply to the very unusual request, well he’s still to respond to it. (ANI)
At least one good thing will be coming out of this...When the man sits with his friendsand he says, "Man, my wife is such a cow..." he won't be telling a lie...
