Sacrificial Cow Enters Bogor Camera Shop, Causing Panic Among Staff and Customers

A sacrificial cow rampaged into a camera shop on Jalan Abesin in Bogor, causing staff and customers to panic.

“Yes, it happened yesterday. I was there when it occurred,” said Bima, an employee at Ah Kamera Bogor, when contacted on Thursday (28 May 2026).

Video footage of the incident went viral on social media, showing a large cow entering the camera shop through the glass front door. Two men, believed to be part of the sacrificial committee, were seen chasing the animal inside.

Inside the shop, people were seen panicking and running to avoid the cow, which circled the premises before being guided outside.

Bima stated the incident occurred at 3 PM on Wednesday (27 May), when the cow suddenly entered the shop while staff were serving two customers.

“There were two customers in the shop at the time, along with our staff. Everyone panicked and moved out of the way,” Bima said.

“We initially saw the cow running outside and thought it wouldn’t come here. It apparently circled around the neighbouring shop, which was closed, and possibly entered ours due to the commotion and open entrance,” he added.

Bima said the cow was successfully guided out by the shop owner and sacrificial committee after nearly five minutes inside. He added there was no major damage.

“There was no broken glass or significant damage, only the front door was affected. It’s an automatic door, so the hinge was damaged but has since been repaired,” Bima said.
