Marito Sad Over The Vandalism of His Cow

The pod where Marito Mortadela's cow stood is empty and the man has been seen visibly sad after hoodlums vandalized the fibreglass work of art that Municipalidad de San José gifted the man who has become a fixture on the "Bulevar", playing his ill tuned ukulele.

However, the empty spot is temporary.

Rafael Arias, assistant to San José mayor Johnny Araya, confirmed that the cow art was removed due to the vandalism and is being repaired.

The cow, named "Marito Tour" stands near the corner of Avenida Central and Calle 1.

Marito has been entertaining passersby on the Bulevar (Boulevard) for years, usually in front of store fronts and open areas. However, with the cow donation, Marito has his own spot on the boulevard and in San José's history book.
