Kull The Concrete Cows?

We're all familiar with the two things that Milton Keynes is well known (and generally mocked) for. The 400 million (estimation) roundabouts, and the Concrete Cows. I put it to you that we get rid of them...
beef with the concrete cows
We don't need to worry about the roundabouts since the government/council are getting rid of them anyway (to make room for more houses or something), so I suggest we make a clear statement and destroy the cows once and for all. Make a big public event of it, throw them on a big bonfire while we all gather round for a midnight drink at Campbell Park then once the fire has died down we go to work with pick axes and sledge hammers to finish them off properly. Or drop them from a huge crane or something. Suggestions on a postcard (or in a comment box).

OK admittedly we've got cows in our logo, but it's supposed to be tongue in cheek and if you notice...they actually look like cows. Unlike those concrete deformities we have labelled cows for years. What's with that? Why are they so poorly made? I looked into it once and as far as i gathered they were a gift from an American art student...yeah...nice one. Sorry but they are just crap, had the artist ever seen a cow or was she told about them by a drunken blind man? Maybe they are slowly melting.

Burn them, destroy them...whatever. Just get rid of them and either replace them with some beautiful sculptures of non-melting cows or just forget about the whole cow saga and let the world find something better to make Milton Keynes famous for.

You can probably tell what my answer to the question is...what's yours?

Yeah, sure, let's get rid of the concrete cows. And while we're about it, we could get rid of the Enigma Machine at Bletchley Park (it's rather antiquated by today's standards), Blackpool Tower (just a copy of the Eiffel Tower), the London Wheel (it doesn't go anywhere, no matter how much it turns), Westminster Abbey (it's almost a thousand years old and needs a lot of maintenance)...

The list could go on and on.

i reckon you should put motion sensors and speakers in the cows so that when people walk past it'll trigger the motion sensors causing the cows to go MOOOOO!!

A concrete traffic jam would probably be more appropriate.

it would be imposible to get rid of these little dudes. ok yeah there not the prettiest of statues but its the fact that the've been with us from the beginnings of milton keynes rise. like us all the've been through the battles. they've been graffitied on, one had its head cut off and i've heard that someone placed one on top of the other in a doggy style position (even though their cows)

so no they've been through to much to get them replaced with better ones. but i appreciate your honesty
