A little more than a year after the Cow Parade ended, Mr Monkey happened to pass the Visitor Information place in Manchester. Glancing through the window, he noticed that they still had a cow. Closer inspection revealed that it was one that had spent most of the cow parade time in hospital. From a distance, this just looks like a silver cow, but, close up, Mr Monkey found that it had bits of a map of Manchester carved into its sides.

During the Cow Parade, the Visitor Information Centre was home to cow 100, Cowscape.

Obviously, there's no cow here. Presumably, there was once. The black and yellow crime scene style tape is quite endearing - perhaps there's been a cownapping ? By 1 August, even the plinth had gone.
