David Morris’s Story
“ Becki was walking on her own with her tiny Chihuahua on the lead when she was attacked and trampled by a herd of cows which included cows with calves of mixed breeds including Simmental, Limousine, Blonde D’Aquitaine, Aberdeen Angus and Limousin. She was trampled at 9.15pm and died at the scene. She was only 29 years old. The pre inquest was 21/12/2023 and the HSE have conducted a criminal investigation and served a prohibition notice on 21/07/2022. The HSE considers that a breach of the above law has occurred which is the Health and Safety at work Act 1974. Section 3 (2)
The farmer knew there was a problem as on the 1st July 2022 kids had been worrying the cattle and he reported it to the police but he did nothing to protect the public at large and our daughter was killed. She had a chihuahua called Zero who was so tiny the cows wouldn’t have even seen him because the grass was so over grown, so they attacked for no reason, or because of the incident with the kids. Becki wouldn’t have even gone anywhere near them with Zero because she would never put her baby at risk he was everything to her.
Becki’s inquest starts on the 14th October with a jury and will last 4 or 5 days.
To say the least we are totally heartbroken our daughter was our world we saw her everyday and spoke every evening before she went to bed, she had a business with her mum so as you can imagine we were so very very close.”
At killer cows we would like to say that we are so sorry for Becki’s death and her loss. We think it is very brave of David and her family to report this to us to warn others of the dangers of cattle.
David and his family add “We want farmers to be held responsible & prosecuted the same as anyone else who lets a dangerous dog or animal injure or kill an innocent member of the public”
This is a picture of Becki and Zero
Cattle Safety 
Tragic, and so easily avoided. The farmers must be prosecuted, and there has to be serious consequences for their negligence in not protecting walkers. If a dog had done this, it would have been destroyed, and its owner facing charges.
Best wishes, Pete.

Oh my word! I am so so sorry to hear this. Such a tragic loss.
I sincerely hope the farmer is imprisoned for his lack of action. Although this will be no consolation to the family.
They are so brave for sharing this story.
