Sharon Eley: attack and horrific injuries

15 broken ribs, a punctured lung, and nearly strangled.

We were very sorry to hear of the cattle attack that left Sharon Eley with terrible injuries:

  • 15 broken ribs
  • Punctured lung
  • Shattered ankle
  • Broken collarbone
  • Ligature marks around neck

Sharon was surrounded and attacked by a group of around 20 cattle, led by one ring-leader cow. She was butted and trampled, and nearly strangled when the strap of her bag was caught around her neck. Her dog escaped unharmed.
