Inquest: W. Yorkshire man trampled to death & wife left crippled by cows while couple going for stroll

Dollface thread.

In the U.S. we wouldn't allow the public to walk on a path on someone else's farmland.

I told you I was hardcow!

The revenge of Elsie.

That's why they call her... "Bossy"!

Honey, we'll be together until the cows come home!

You are supposed to carry an emergency beach ball when venturing amongst cows.

Attack cows!

Scarier than Twister.

I told those bitches to “Mooooove!!”

So this is what they meant by "Monday Morning Moos".

I knew I was right to never leave my basement!

The inquest heard they entered a field at JA Mitchell & sons’ farm, and followed a public footpath up a steep hill, unaware that several dozen cows with calves were at the top of the slope.

We were hoping they would stay on the udder side of the slope, but they didn't.

I just hope the trodden didn’t carry covid or distemper.

This story sounds a bit Flyoverstan-ish.

Seems an apt time to bring back the "owl did it" theory in the Staircase death.

You guys are really milking this thread for all it's worth.

This is how Planet of the Apes started. One day it's "oops, we accidently killed a couple of humans" and the next thing you know, they've got us cages.

R4- Are you suggesting that Tori Spelling was involved in this?

It the owl really did do it!

I reckon it did too, R20.

See...Mad Cow is not just a disease, it's also an attitude. Now you know.

They should have started hoofing it when they herd the cows coming.

Dan Cathy smiles from ear to ear.

Trampled to death by a cow.

I’ll take “strange obituaries” for $400, Alex.

They should have brought a jazz band with them.

Happens in the Alps every year.

In all seriousness, I wonder if the cows were spooked by something. Unless it was a bull (in which case they would've been gored, not trampled) or maybe they got too close to the baby cows, cows tend to be pretty passive and indifferent, just sort of meandering around and pooping.

Why does the UK have such cranky cows? Is there some coming global cow anxiety crisis we should prepare for?

Yes, it's called Irate Cow Disease (to distinguish it from that earlier variant).

I can't read The Guardian because it's behind a paywall but I bet they've got an angle blaming someone because they're capitalist pigs (or capitalist cows)

Bees, dogs and cows are America's top killer animals.

"Each year, cows kill about 20 people, typically by kicking or trampling. And about three-quarters of those incidents are reportedly deliberate attacks. "

Two words...Animal Farm.

R28, the article mentions that the couple had their daughter's dogs with them. The farmer thinks the cows may have viewed the dogs as predators towards their calves, and thus became aggressive. (the article doesn't state what kind dogs they were, but I'm assuming they were larger dogs, not little Chihuahuas or Yorkies)

Don't fuck with me, fellas!

Nice try, Mr. Farmer. I know the sound of two pennies being dropped into a jelly jar when I hear it.

^ah, that picture at r34; so cute... but so DEADLY!

They now have a taste for blood!

We humans are OVAH!!!

Irritable Cow Syndrome

They had dogs with them, which it said cows view as a predator.

Have some respect! My mother was eaten by a cow!

Joe Manganiello would have saved them, but he was in Topeka pushing a True-er Blood Reboot and his insurance forbids ruminants

Meat is Murder!!!

Yeah…..ruminate on that for a bit.

Eet chikken

Some of you bitches are milking this for all it's worth.

R45 = R17

^Those boots were made for walkin'..

"One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over moo"

Somewhere in Kansas...

I told Elsie, "YOU WOULDN'T DAIRY!"

And she did.

Bravo, R49! 🤣

Revenge from getting tipped over.

Thank you r52!

Dog owners beware!!!!!!!!!

At R38, cow be like, "Bitch you ain't puttin that arm up my ass!"

who can't outrun a cow? If God didn't want us to eat hamburger he wouldn't have made them so easy to catch. You don't see anyone eating cheeta burgers, do you?
