Cuba No Cow. The prohibition of gold in Cuba

In Cuba you cannot own a cow. How do we know this? Because while participating in a documentary workshop in Cuba, gringo filmmaker Erik Anderson was told this by locals, and without ever verifying anything, Anderson ordered two more cervezas and took a long nap. The next day, he borrowed a camera and began documenting the confounding hearsay.
