Dog walkers should be more aware of cattle

Our bull terrier would love to chase cows. Perhaps its got something to do with the name of the breed...... Another fatality this week. The changeover to farmers breeding more continental breeds part of the issue.

We have just about given up walking in fields with cows in. The last time we got chased over a hill by 20 bullocks. They thought it was great fun as did the dogs.

Farmers have a duty of care to walkers. It can cost them dearly. Precedents have been successfully set in the law courts where injuries to walkers have happened.
