Why are cows attacking people?

An Indian man has lost one eye as a result of a cow's attack. The unidentified 24-year-old went directly to the hospital after the strange accident, which left him unable to see and bleeding from the left eye.

The doctors tried to turn the eye because the terrible hurt left him out of his usual position.

The surgeons in New Delhi found that they were able to gradually insert their eye back into the orbital vault.

They didn't find out if he lost his sight, yet the patient told doctors: “I lost my eye in the” accident.

But cows are not completely harmless and have been known to attack people, mainly when threatened.

Scientific studies have shown that animals are more likely to kill or injure people associated with dogs.

The first consideration of the cases of livestock attacks in Britain, published in 2016, revealed that people associated with their pets were over two thirds of the victims.

Researchers at the University of Liverpool analyzed 54 cow attacks between 1993 and 2013. One in four of these attacks was fatal.

While human behavior around livestock can cause attacks, the magazine Countryfiles also suggests.

About 5 people a year are drowned by cows in Great Britain, according to the National Statistics Office. A typical cow weighs about half a ton.
