From the BBC:
A farmer is in a critical condition in hospital after he was trampled by a cow on a remote North York Moors farm. The 67-year-old man suffered serious head, chest and abdominal injuries at Manor Farm, Old Byland, on Monday. He was flown by Great North Air Ambulance to Middlesbrough's James Cook Hospital...
No details as to the reason why this particular cow attacked, but as we well know, the cows don't need 'reasons'.

So many attacks recently this smacks of Orwell's "Animal Farm" Is this the beginning of the domestic animals revolution against their oppressive human masters. Better become a vegetarian.
I've probably got cows on the brain but I initially read the headline as referring to the "North Yorkshire Moos".
Anti, three cow attack deaths in the UK so far this year, as against (I think) five in 2009. There's everything still to play for...
R, damn, I missed that.
Better than being trampled by Moors in Cowes.
My wife, dog and I were chased by around 20 cows/full grown beef calves Monday - we couldn't see them as we entered the field on a bridleway due to the slopes. Although let off his lead the dog tried to stay with me and in the melee I got hit in the face by a head. My wife called the dog to her as she ran away to prevent me being surrounded but was then herself backed against a gate as the herd went around me. Her scream stopped tem until I arrived yelling and laying about me. At no time did the dog show any animosity to them or even bark. If I'd have tripped...
D, that's racist.
J, I hope that a) you and yours have recovered and b) you don't mind that I turned that comment into a new post?
