From Cambridge News:
A man has suffered serious injuries after being trampled by cows on a common while walking his dog. Police closed off access to the area – popular with dog walkers – following the incident shortly after 7am yesterday.
The victim, a 59-year-old from St Neots who has not been named, was taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital but was quickly transferred to Papworth Hospital which specialises in chest problems. It is thought his injuries were serious, but not life threatening and his condition has now been described as “stable”...
So far so bad...
In April Jessica Ellis and her three children were charged by cows that she said jumped into a play area. Yesterday’s incident at St Neots Common is the latest in a series of incidents involving cows in the region this year, including the death of Philip Whiting, 47, who was crushed by a cow while he helped out on a farm at Fordham...
Angelika Von Heimendahl*, who keeps between 70 and 90 red poll cattle on Midsummer Common, Coldhams Common and at Grantchester, said: “Most cows are pretty docile.”
She would say that, wouldn't she. We are still no closer solving the mystery - if cows don't like dogs, why do they always attack the owner and not the dog?
* It's not clear whether she was sitting in a high backed swivel chair, stroking a fluffy white cat when she said this. Or whether she then chuckled heartily.

Tiny cows I tell you, it's the future, we've got to stop this cow insanity now.

This is pure misdirection by the cows PR department and we fall for it everytime.
(Angelika Von Heimendahl - If anyone is breeding GIANT NAZI COWS in secret, I think we know where to look first)
I believe that the line:
"the cow jumped over the moon" is not merely a handy rhyme for an item of cutlery but is part of a spy code used in Cambridge so that traitors on bicycles can identify each other.
Furthermore, it denotes that the 'cow' - the secret space ship controlled by hypnotized students in a bar under the city - has reached lunar orbit, literally jumped over the moon, and is hiding round the dark-side of it.
I've not cracked the rest of the code yet.
His condition is 'stable?' I thought he was attacked by a cow, not a horse?
On the other hand, if you've been to St. Neots, it's quite understandable behaviour.
Why do they always attack the owner?
a) Because they can, and the dog has delivered them within reach.
b) Because they're moody.
PC, with a name like that, she's definitely a GIANT NAZI COW breeder if there ever was one.
WOAR, "cow jumped over a fence" is scary enough.
Ch, LOL.
Angelika Von Heimendahl has a huge supply of cats available.
She a vet is.
They most likely attack the humans because they are about the same height hence buttable then trampleable and the dogs run around a lot faster barking (not that that is a plausible form of defence for people).
After years of walking through fields full of cows as a child I was once herded into the corner of a field by cows as an adult and had to get over a fence.Into dense undergrowth.I have not gone near them since.
