"Dog walker trampled by cattle escapes with cuts and bruises after teenagers helped to distract animals"

From The Daily Mail:

A dog walker who was trampled by a herd of cows says she owes her life to quick-thinking teenagers.

Sharn Thomas, 59, spent two days in hospital with severe abdominal bruising, 'hoof prints' on her body, a deep gash on her groin and a haematoma after the ordeal.

She was taking a well-used short cut through a field when the herd of cattle charged and trampled her in Llanbedr, Gwynedd, Wales.

But a group of youngsters witnessed the attack and rushed to the rescue, managing to distract the cows long enough for Sharn to get to safety and receive urgent medical attention.


I'd say that is about as typical as it gets for a 'cow attack' story - walking a dog across a field full of cattle. Ho hum. Well done, that 'group of youngsters' though!

R, I've heard that one a million times and I have no idea who thought it up first but it is clearly complete bollocks.

Unless I am mistaken you cannot steal something and make it yours by doing work to it.

You cannot mix your labour with "the location" as the location is just there.

Or as Fraggle says, "How much labour is enough? I punch a tree, is that enough? And does it make the tree mine? Or the surrounding fifty yards or the surrounding fifty acres?"
