Cow tipping is an alleged activity performed by participants who sneak up on an upright, sleeping cow and push it over for fun. There are factors which make success in this unlikely, and a variety of calculations have been applied to determine if cow tipping is physically possible, sometimes with humorous intention.
Academics in the zoology department of the University of British Columbia have concluded that cow tipping is impossible, noting also that cows sleep while lying down. Some consider the attempt to practice it as an act of animal abuse.
In 2004, a Florida legislator proposed a ban on "cruelty to bovines", which while not specific to cow tipping, included language that would apply to cow tipping: "A person who, for the purpose of practice, entertainment, or sport, intentionally fells, trips, or otherwise causes a cow to fall or lose its balance by means of roping, lassoing, dragging, or otherwise touching the tail of the cow commits a misdemeanor of the first degree." The statute did not ultimately pass into law, however.
