I don't know why the image of cow bushes barreling down a crowded metropolitan street after fleeing bystanders fills me with such unbridled glee.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-843.
I like the idea - the only thing that makes me pause is how often agents from the Foundation are the ones who discover SCP objects in the field. We must be very (un)lucky to continually be the folks who run into these.
I Was thinking that myself, I se so many articles where the acqusition point is a foundation member just randomly buying it. IT would make sense if they were actively hunting, but it seems so many things come in from neighbours yardsales and the like.
And the concept of a shrubbery stampede gives me the giggles.
Beautiful.
Incidentally, this would be the type of thing that would make a perfect Factory item.

Perhaps there's one thing this article could use: a -J tag. It's certainly funny enough and not horrible to warrant a joke classification.
I dunno, I can't see it as a -J. It could fit it, but I don't think it would be the same. SCP-999 is adorable and fun, and it's not a -J.
As it stands, I am now actually quite nervous about planting the 'cow seeds' my mother purchased for me.
I hate 999.
This article couldn't be a -J, because it doesn't have a joke. It's weird and kinda silly, but not in a here's the punchline kinda way, which is why it sits okay in the regular listing.
D'awwww, such cute widdle painted beans.

I think this entry would benefit from one example of "aggressive" behavior. When I read it, I thought, "A cow-shaped plant being aggressive? What's it going to do, affect my allergies?" Triffids aside, aggressive plants don't do much for me. Making this more ominous would help move it away from -J class and make the Euclid classification more sensible. Right now, I think it's Safe. Hell, even if it escapes confinement, what do we have? A walking shrub. Oooh, alert the National Guard!
It has come to my attention that 843 might be in need of some testing. Does 843-2 produce milk? If you were to try and eat it, would it make a veggie burger? Exactly what sort of plant is it, anyway? Is the 843-2 we have in containment male or female? Are they all one gender? And how on earth are they aggressive, anyway?
These are many questions. Questions that I honestly don't feel like answering right now. So what I think would be best would be to open up 843 to testing from everyone. Feel free to think up tests, like 'What's inside 843-1?' or 'Does 843-2 make a good veggie burger?'. And feel free to think up what the results are. I don't want to see something awesome like 'Is 843-2 male or female? [DATA EXPUNGEDLOL].' If this doesn't work, I guess I'll do it myself…
I'm gonna cite the how to write here and say it would be better if you didn't do that.
There doesn't appear to be an image in this SCP. Could we find a replacement image?
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
Are you sure? I see two images—one of the seeds, and one of a cow topiary.
There are two images in this article.

Hmm, that's strange. The image wasn't showing up at the time I posted the comment. It seems to be perfectly fine now. Please disregard me, haha.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
…who thinks this is some sort of some alternate Jack and the Bean Stalk?
Sly… That would mean this is the giant's cow?
More like some sort of cross between the seeds and the cow that were traded for them… So this Jack actually got the best of both worlds?
Is it Euclid because there is at least one, possibly many more that are not contained?
Well, it's a plant. One can assume seeds are all around dormant just waiting for the right season… hey, this could go in the article!
