Myra’s story:
“We were walking towards a cow, giving a wide berth so not to be too close on the footpath. As I began walking past, it suddenly started to charge towards me. I ran backwards got trapped up against a hawthorn tree and I tore my t-shirt.
I am too anxious to walk our dog there now alone. It was a very scary experience. The cows are huge and dread to think if it had made contact the injuries I would have sustained.
I think you should have warning signs put up in the area. I see lots of elderly and young children walking in the area.”
