I live in a very rural area to see cows is common place, i used to walk my dogs over fields where there were cows, they were always under control, but never when the cows had calves would i walk them that way,
i have spoken to farmers whos cows sheep etc, have been mauled to death by dogs, one even stood by the gate with a shot gun in his hand, ready to shoot any stray dog.
you couldnt blame him he was protecting his animals, from the thick owners and there out of control dogs.

Namaste

That's as maybe but on the moors we have carnivorous sheep. Thugs dressed in wool !

HAHAHAHA

I remember when I was climbing some hills in Derbyshire (back in the good old days when I could climb). I'd just come to a brow and was practically on my hands and knees, I was so knackered.

My head popped up above the brow, and there was a sheep looking down at me. I don't know who was more surprised. The expression on its face was, "what the heck are you doing here?"

Softy sheep in Derbyshire. Yorkshire sheep would mug you for your sandwiches !

Woman killed by cows !

That is just poor Media coverage......

It should say "Idiot woman killed by her own stupidity"

The cows were not to blame, but our EGOS sure do not like accepting responsibility.

This womans death has hopefully brought new awareness among other dog owners. It was a misfortunate accident and a mistake on her part, she payed the ultimate price.

I think rather than joking and focusing on judgements about how idiotic people can be....we could perhaps be a little more honourable and respectfull of the sacrefice this living breathing person made for the sake of allowing her dog to run free.

I might seem harsh, but I'd prefer to treat others with equal respect in death as in life regardless of how or why they died.
