Do you think animals can have accents?

Cows have regional accents, a group of British farmers claims, and phonetics experts say the idea is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Lloyd Green, from southwest England, was one of a group of farmers who first noticed the phenomenon. 'I spend a lot of time with my Friesians and they definitely 'moo' with a Somerset drawl,' he said, referring to the breed of dairy cow he owns. 'I've spoken to the other farmers in the West Country group and they have noticed a similar development in their own herds. I think it works the same as with dogs - the closer a farmer's bond is with his animals, the easier it is for them to pick up his accent.'
