A big thanks to Nick, who spotted this in (at?) Chronicle Live:
The region has seen some horrific deaths and injuries caused by trampling, a particular problem as summer rambling season approaches.
Injuries and deaths caused by cows are unfortunately not as uncommon as you might think in our region and beyond.
Cows pose a safety risk to ramblers and walkers and have even been identified as the most deadly large animals* in the UK...
* I can't think of much in the category of "large animals" except cows and horses, and there are a lot more cows than horses in the UK, so duh. (My wife reckoned she'd seen a brown bear in the woods recently, walking on all fours. It had very skinny legs, no claws, pointy horns and a swishy tail and was eating grass. Draw your own conclusions.)
Nick's comment: I saw it and thought of you, you chronicler of the deadly bovine menace amidst us all!
