VIENNA: The Austrian government on May 16 warned Internet users to shun an online cow-kissing challenge, calling it a “dangerous nuisance”. 

A Swiss app called Castl launched the #KuhKussChallenge (“Cow Kiss Challenge”) on May 15, encouraging users in Switzerland and other German-speaking countries to kiss cows – “with or without tongues” – to raise money for charity.
