"No, Daisy! Noooooo!!!"

[ifiwasapuppet]

I was playing this game called "Urban Myth" with Maura and Sarah a few minutes ago, and basically the players have to answer whether they think stories on the cards are true or a myth. So this one comes up under the Crime category and I'm reading the card and my eyes pass over it and once it's registered what it says I start laughing so hard my eyes well up. So the two of them are getting tired of it and just want me to read it out, and are trying to get me to stop laughing, Maura's jokingly smacking me across the face in a very non-hurting way, and then I finally read it out. Here's what it says:

"Upon convicting a cow for
murder, a French court
ordered the animal hanged
and burned at the stake."

Now, humour me and play along, what do you think the answer was, truth or myth?
