Rural contractors raise $30K for ambulance and helicopters services
Rural contractors have donated $30k to support Nelson ambulance and rescue helicopter services.
University of Liverpool researchers Carri Westgarth and Marie McIntyre studied the behaviour of cows following several incidents: in one a retired academic was trampled to death by cattle in Oxford.
They searched newspaper reports over two decades and discovered 54 separate attacks — 24% of them fatal — by cattle on people out walking. Injuries included fractures from kicking, lacerations, punctured lungs, bruising, black eyes, joint dislocation, nerve damage and unconsciousness.
