London, Sep 2 (IANS) A herd of cows trampled to death an elderly woman who was passing through a field with her dog, just yards from her home.
Police believe the lady’s dog’s barking may have spooked the cows which were guarding young calves.
Marilyn Duffy, 61, a retired school secretary, was cornered by a herd of 20 cattle – each weighing half a ton – during her regular morning walk in Radyr suburb, near Cardiff county in Wales. She was knocked down and trampled underfoot, the Daily Mail reported Friday.
A neighbour said: ‘Marilyn was walking her dog and unfortunately the cows took exception to it. They are not domesticated animals, they are wild beasts and it was just an unfortunate thing.’
