That's 3 in four weeks now. Urgent measures need to be taken. Like killing all cows. Let's hope this isn't as serious as it seems. The next two weeks will prove critical*
* In the event of the next two weeks not proving criticial, the two weeks after that will be critical, or, failing that, sometime next year.

A FARMER was fighting for life last night after being trampled by cows panicked by a fire engine on a 999 call.
Harold Lee, 75, was herding his 100 Holstein Friesians on a B-road when the tender arrived with lights and sirens on.
The spooked animals ran back to their field leaving Harold with serious head and chest injuries. He was airlifted to hospital where he was said to be "critical".
Son Richard, 42, who was with Harold near their farm in Burtle, Somerset, asked the 999 driver to turn off his warning system. He said: "We are all devastated."
Avon and Somerset police are investigating.
The fire brigade refused to comment.

Farming unions have warned walkers, especially those with dogs, to be aware of the dangers posed by cows with calves.
Three people have died in as many months and others have been injured.
They include the former Home Secretary David Blunkett who was trampled while walking with his guide dog.
Farmers are becoming increasingly worried and say walkers should be aware that cattle are naturally protective towards calves and can attack dogs.
Three walkers have died in the past three months alone.
The former Home Secretary David Blunkett was trampled earlier this year as he was out walking with his guide dog Sadie in the Peak District.
David Blunkett: 'The next thing I knew the cow had hit me.'
The Sheffield MP let Sadie go and she ran to safety.
He suffered three broken ribs and bruising.
"It made me realise how serious this can be and I've had literally scores of letters from people injured or relatives of people who have been injured or even killed," said Mr Blunkett.
The farming unions say walkers who feel threatened by cattle should always let their dog off the lead.
They say they want people to enjoy the countryside but be aware of the dangers.
Ed Rees, chairman of the livestock board at the National Farmers' Union Cymru (NFU), said it was natural that cows would protect their calves.
"Initially when you're walking with a dog, keep it on a lead in case you encounter sheep.
HOW TO AVOID CATTLE DANGERS
Don't be afraid of them but be mindful they are protective of their young
If you feel threatened let your dog off the lead
Take a walking stick with you
Be bold and walk straight through them

Why do cows attack?
"But if it's cattle, and if they come towards you, let the dog go as they'll see the dog as the enemy and if you're seen as trying to protect your dog, you may be in trouble.
"Just take a walking stick with you - be bold and walk straight through them. These animals are just protecting themselves and they see the dog as a threat to themselves and their calves."
Mr Rees said it was tragic when the trampling incidents occurred but they were still very rare.
Farmer Harold Lee, 75, from Somerset died in hospital earlier this month after being trampled after his herd were apparently startled by a fire engine siren.
A walker, Anita Hinchey, 63, was trampled to death in July by cows when she tried to rescue her dog which ran into the herd near Cardiff.
In June, 49-year-old vet Liz Crowsley was trampled to death by a herd of cattle while walking the Pennine Way with her two dogs.
Before the latest incidents, Health and Safety Executive figures showed that 18 people had been killed and 481 injured by cows in the previous eight years.

If a cow gives you a dirty look just moove somewhere else.
This one by some miracle survived, but I expect to see a sharp rise in such cases over the next 8-9 weeks.
Cows trample on farmer in field
A farmer is in hospital after he was trampled by cattle on his land in Suffolk.
Roger Jones, who is in his seventies, suffered broken ribs and cuts to his face at Thorndon Hill Farm, near Eye, on Tuesday afternoon.
An ambulance and an air ambulance were called and it was decided to airlift Mr Jones to hospital.
He is now in a stable condition at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

My mate was out having a drink with Lionel Blair and Bronson(before he was locked up), they had a cow chase them through the centre of Deal...
Cows can be quite territorial even if you haven't a dog. I have been chased by a herd of cows, and hopped over a fence.
The NFU advice sounds like suicide, imo. Just walk through them! These bl00dy farmers are such know-it-alls. They know their own cows since birth. It's different for a stranger.
A herd of cows charges you at 25 mph and you are supposed to just walk through them ffs!

On second thoughts, it might have been young bullocks which charged me. I didn't let them get close enough to check for udders.
ANOTHER fatality, action is needed NOW!
A DOG walker was trampled to death by a herd of COWS as she strolled through a field, an inquest heard.
Animal lover Anita Hinchey, 63, was surrounded by the beasts as she walked her boxer Woody with pal Ruth Tugwell.
Mrs Hinchey suffered fatal injuries when the cows charged - as she tried to rescue her pooch from harm.
Ms Tugwell told the inquest in Cardiff she was nervous of cows and walked around them with her dog Poppy - but Mrs Hinchey showed no fear.
She said: "I was slightly ahead when I saw the cows. They looked up and seemed curious and started to move towards us both.
"They were coming in a semi-circular formation, so I was heading towards the end so I could get away from them.
"Anita was walking nearer to them than me. She wasn't ever nervous of cows and used to give them water right outside her house when the river had dried up."
Ms Tugwell said when she next turned around her friend, who worked as an assessor for Investors in People, was surrounded by cows.
She said Mrs Hinchey, of Cardiff, looked as though she was holding on to Woody's collar, trying to pull him away.
"She appeared to trip backwards and because it was an incline couldn't get her footing and started to fall backwards," she said.
"I saw her head moving fast and I assume that's when she was hit by the hoof of a cow.
"Her eyes were closed and she was falling almost into a foetal position. I thought she was unconscious."
Ms Tugwell said her friend was completely surrounded by cattle at that point.
When paramedics arrived, it was too late to save her.
Peter Davies, the farmer who owns the field, said there was no public right of way where the two women were walking, but the cows were free to roam near the public footpaths.
Mr Davies added it would have been unusual for the animals not to show curiosity and the best reaction was to "shoo" them.
Advertisement
He said he had been going to the field with his own dog three times a week to feed them.
The coroner asked him if there was any advice that could prevent such an incident occurring again.
Mr Davies said: "If you're walking your dog through sheep, it's vital you put the dog on a lead.
"If you're walking a dog through cattle, it's absolutely vital you take your dog off the lead."
He added: "Cows are docile, generally speaking. Put them with a dog and that's not always the case."
Coroner Mary Hassell recorded a verdict of accidental death.

methinks they have an agenda :( will the BNP protect us and deport this bovine terrorists?
Unwise to get between a herd of cows and Ms Tugwell at milking time.
The best thing to do when you meet an angry cow is to make a complimentary remark about her plastic earrings and the mark just above her arse. This may also work with cattle.
nothing in 10 weeks. shame on you sparky, scaring us all like that.
yes I could say he was talking a load of bull, but i wont
had they continued Killer Cows the movie, would have been on its way ..
I expect big developments over the next few weeks!
A FIREMAN has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a farmer was trampled to death by a herd of cows which were spooked by his siren.
Tragic Harold Lee, 75, was moving 100 dairy cattle along a B-road with son Richard when a fire engine approached with full lights and sirens on.
Richard, 42, claimed the driver turned off the sirens at his request but became impatient when the cows failed to move quickly and then allegedly blasted them back on.
The startled herd turned and stampeded over Harold, who was on a quad bike, leaving him with serious head and chest injuries from which he died six days later.
A 29-year-old fireman has now been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence and has been bailed until Friday.
Andrew Lee, 47, Harold's eldest son who also works on the family farm at Burtle, Somerset, said the arrest was a "step towards justice".
He said: "Personally I think the fireman is responsible for my father's death and it certainly could have been avoided. If he had turned the siren off dad would still be alive today.
"Things are still pretty raw at the moment and it will be until we get some answers as to why he died. Hopefully this can be a step forward to justice for him."
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service refused to comment on the arrest.

A policeman suffered four broken ribs and a punctured lung when he was attacked by cows.
Inspector Chris Poole was surrounded by 50 half-ton beef cattle, which repeatedly butted and stamped on him.

I think women walking alone should do away with mace and instead carry a jar of horseradish sauce to scare these menaces.
A grinning Welshman in a long duffle coat more of a deterrent imo, although granted not so easy to fit in to a handbag.
Judging by the photo of Insp. Poole with his dog, it does not appear that cows are deterred by the threat of unnatural practices.

As a fully-grown cow can weigh anything from three-quarters of a tonne to a tonne, it does not take much for serious injury to be inflicted on anyone unfortunate enough to be on the end of a sudden bout of bovine bad temper.
Someone who can testify to this painful truth is David Blunkett, the former Home Secretary, who was attacked by a cow while walking in the Peak District on 6 June, his 62nd birthday, and suffered bruising and a broken rib.

A man is killed and his wife injured by a bull
A man has been killed and his wife critically injured in an attack by a bull in Nottinghamshire.
The couple, wearing walking gear, were near the Leicestershire border at about 1630 GMT on Friday when it happened.
It is unclear why the bull attacked the pair, who were walking on a public footpath, near the village of Stanford on Soar.
Nottinghamshire Police said the couple are not thought to be local to the area and appeared to have been visiting.

In fairness "Beware of The Bull" signs are pretty common. You never see a "Beware of The Cow" sign.
Which means that we're all conditioned to be scared of bulls. I wouldn't be daft enough to go walking in the same field as one.

A farmer has been killed by a charging bull in Hampshire, the National Farmers Union (NFU) has said.
The 58-year-old, named locally as Ian Rook, was said to have been "tossed in the air" when his animal charged at him at Manor Farm in Clanfield on Friday.
He was taken to the hospital but died. The Health and Safety Executive has been informed of the incident.
William White, from the NFU, said Mr Rook was a "super chap" and played a major part in farming in the area.
The regional director for the South East added: "It is very rare for a bull to attack a farmer and I must admit I do not know what happened, but an investigation is taking place which will hopefully give some answers.
"He was a super chap. He was always interested in you as a person.
"He has been involved in the industry for many years and was county chairman for the NFU, a real stalwart."
'People shocked'
Landlord of the nearby Rising Sun Pub, Geoff Wilson, said Mr Rook was a well known and respected member of the community.
He added: "I came up yesterday and saw police had blocked the road.
"From what people were saying he was tossed in the air when the bull charged at him.
"A lot of people knew him around here and are shocked about the whole thing."
Police have notified the coroner and a post-mortem examination will take place on Monday.

I think it would be irresponsible to suggest that an epidemic is imminent, but a bit of judicious purchasing of bottled water and dried food would be sensible at this stage.
MOMM: The reason you no longer see Beware Of The Bull signs is that they're only relevant where the public has right of access to the land (footpaths/bridleways etc.)
If the farmer were to put up such a sign, he would risk prosecution by ramblers for trying to deter public access.

Two donkeys are to be put down after they dragged a pensioner from his mobility scooter and mauled him to death.
Sandor Horvath, 65, was chased and pulled from the scooter at a farm in Hungary, where he was visiting his farmer friend.
He was bitten and trampled on, and when his mutilated remains were found it was believed he had been attacked by wolves.
However, a post-mortem examination revealed the bites and markings had come from the donkeys.
A vet told local media: "Donkeys aren't usually aggressive towards humans.
"They probably reacted like this as they thought the victim was intruding upon their territory."
A police spokesman said: "If these were dogs then they would also be put to sleep.
"We can’t allow animals to go around killing people. Putting them to sleep is the best thing for everyone."
The farmer's daughter, Csikos Darda, said: "I had noticed that the donkeys were becoming increasingly aggressive and I'd asked my father to do something about it, but he'd said they were fine."

In summary - how to stay safe when walking near livestock:
- Be mindful of your surroundings
- Give animals plenty of space, especially if they are rearing their young
- If you feel threatened, do not run. Instead, move to the edge of the field and make no sudden noises
- If possible, find another way round
- If you are walking a dog, keep the dog on a lead
- Follow any signs. At certain times dogs may not be allowed on some areas of access land or may need to be kept on a lead
- If while walking a dog you feel threatened, let the dog go
- Be mindful of your surroundings
- Give animals plenty of space, especially if they are rearing their young
- If you feel threatened, do not run. Instead, move to the edge of the field and make no sudden noises
- If possible, find another way round
- If you are walking a dog, keep the dog on a lead
- Follow any signs. At certain times dogs may not be allowed on some areas of access land or may need to be kept on a lead
- If while walking a dog you feel threatened, let the dog go
Its all common sense, just keep to edge of the field and have your escape exit planned plus never get between a mother and its calf.

Mike Porter death: Cows wanted to trample us, says brother
A man who survived an attack by cows in which his brother was killed has told an inquest it appeared the herd wanted to "deliberately trample" them. John Porter said he and his brother Mike, 66, from Edinburgh, had been walking dogs on leads when they were attacked in a field in Wiltshire. He told Salisbury Coroner's Court they picked themselves up after being trampled only to be knocked over again.
There had been three previous cow attacks nearby, the inquest heard.
The fatal attack happened on a public footpath through Elbow Field in Turleigh in May 2013.
Mr Porter told the inquest that attempts to shoo the cows away failed and they were surrounded.
'Excitable cows'
Mr Porter, from Monkton Combe, near Bath, said the cows seemed to "deliberately trample" on them "as if it was something they really wanted to do", adding that it was "extraordinary". His brother, who lived in Edinburgh with Adrienne Sillar and their two sons, died at the scene.
The inquest heard there had been one previous attack in the field, in 2008, and two in a neighbouring field in 2011.
David Billington, from Winsley, described how he had been walking home one evening in October 2011 when he heard "thundering hooves". He was knocked unconscious and suffered a broken neck. The farmer, Brian Godwin, 81, said the cows in the field were continental and British cross-breeds, which were "more excitable" than other cows. He said he had put in place safety measures after previous incidents - including signs warning people to keep dogs on a lead and some electric fencing. Mr Godwin has since sold his cattle and is trying to establish a new herd, the court was told.
The inquest continues.

An 87-year-old woman was knocked to the ground and killed by a herd of "berserk" cattle, an inquest has heard.
Hilary Adair was trampled on by Belted Galloway cattle and repeatedly attacked as she tried to get up at Linchmere Common in West Sussex on 7 January.
She was flown to hospital but never regained consciousness and died a week later.
A conclusion of accidental death was recorded at the inquest in Crawley.
The fatal cattle assault came just a day after a couple and their dogs were chased and injured by the same animals.

Careful what you post. 'They' have already silenced sparkmaster.
Some years ago I used to walk my pitbull through meadows where there were cows . I was careful not to let him off if there were calves present . One morning I set him free and he scampered into the field to check out the herd . Then I noticed a calf that was getting to its feet . I called the dog to heel , he ignored me . So I shouted for him to come back . All hell let loose and the cows attacked en bloc . But it was me they were after! The wretched dog was playing with the calf and the cows were trying to break the fence to get at me .

You never mentioned the dogs,it's the missing piece from most of these stories,original gov advice was always keep your dog on the leash, they changed it a couple of years ago to let it off leash if cattle present or coming close.
Think a lot of elderly don't get it or are following the old advice which was more about keeping livestock safe than preventing human fatalities.
Bovines and k9's a bad mix, better to let dog off lead,think folk panic, lose control of situation, end up on deck still holding onto dog imo, crazy.
The dog never gets hurt in these stories.
