Cows in Britain are killers - have taken 74 lives in last 15 years


Cows in Britain are killers - these animals have emerged as one of Britain's "most dangerous" large animals and have accounted for as many as 74 deaths in the past 15 years. This data has been furnished by the UK Health and Safety Executive figures and reported in zeenews.india.com dated 8 November 2015.
As per information given by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), these animals that can weigh more than a tonne, typically crush, butt or trample victims to death. The targets are usually walkers as they stroll on public footpaths through fields where cows are grazing.
Breakup of the dead is eighteen killed were ramblers and balance 56 were farm workers. In fact, cows are believed to be far more lethal than dogs. There were 17 deaths between 2005 and 2013. In view of these revelations, the HSE has issued fresh advice to farmers and have advised them that cattle should never be kept in fields with public footpaths.
Experts are of the opinion that cows can be easily spooked because they have poor hearing and depth of vision.
Obviously, they cannot focus on objects and have, usually, attacked whenever they feel they are under threat and can repeat the tactic if similar circumstances arise again.
