The Iowa State Fair’s butter cow sculpture was vandalized by the Iowans for Animal Liberation group.
The cow, a fair tradition since 1911, cleaned up well after the dousing. The group attempted to churn controversy over factory farms by scrawling “Freedom For All” on a glass window in the display.
“It’s sad, because the butter cow is iconic of the Iowa State Fair,” said Lori Chappell, Iowa State Fair marketing director, who added: “No one was hurt; no one was injured. The butter cow is fine.”
Security has increased at the building since the incident, and better locks have been installed, Chappell said.
