Of course when you have an outdoor wedding you always run the risk of nature crashing the party, like when a deer decided to crash a wedding and take a nibble out of the bride’s bouquet, or this grizzly bear that brutally mauled a moose in the background of a wedding at Glacier National Park.

It happens.

But wedding guests got quite the surprise at a wedding in Oklahoma when they thought a cow had plopped down in a nearby field to watch the ceremonies.

Well it turns out it wasn’t a cow at all, but actually a furry in a cow costume with a camera who ended up taking photos of the wedding.

...

But this particular furry was just laying out in the field as the wedding took place nearby, giving the impression from afar that it was a normal cow, until it stood up and started taking pictures of the ceremony.

That’s gonna be a great story that the bride and groom can tell their kids someday. And maybe it even opens up a whole new market of wedding paparazzi. Don’t want the photographer in the shot? Have them dress up like a cow and lay down in the background. Has the furry community explored this business opportunity yet?

Is it just me or am i right to expect better from journalism to properly research topics they talk about.

While I won't be personally holding WhiskeyRiff.com up as an example of journalistic excellence, I've seen similar levels from established newspapers who should know better. At least they owned up to a lack of knowledge, most news outlets would do the quick Google and never mention it, just letting the content of the article demonstrate their lack.of understanding on the topic.

Havent thought of it like this. Thats a fair perspective actually.

My comment is definitely coming from frustration with modern new sites in general. Nothing personal against WhiskeyRiff they simply where a involuntary representative/example of the bigger issue.

Yes, it's all part of the push for "content" and the quality if often secondary. The enshittification of news.
