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. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-33258217 |

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. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-49775279 |

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. |
