"Man dies moving herd of cattle at farm in Cumbria"

From the BBC:

Police and the ambulance service were called to the farm, in the area of Calthwaite, near Penrith, on Saturday after reports that a man was injured. The 53-year-old, whose name has not yet been released, was found dead at the scene. The coroner has been informed.

A police spokeswoman said it appeared to be a "tragic accident" and a joint investigation* with the Health and Safety Executive** was under way.

Spotted by Alfred S, who points out that there's "Nothing in any party's manifesto about tackling this problem." Too true, but at least this blogger is aware of the scale of it.

* Are the police finally starting to treat these attacks as crimes? About time too.

** Wahey! Maybe the Cow Attack Foundation can get its first commission?
