GROUP CHARGED BY COW WHILE WALKED IN THE HAUTES-PYRÉNÉES A GROUP of walkers has been attacked by a cow in the Hautes-Pyrénées, leaving one dead and four others injured. The incident happened


at 11.30 on Tuesday morning on the Col d'Azet, near Saint-Lary-Soulan. The group passed a herd of cows, but one animal, protecting her calf, charged an 85-year-old walker. He was


airlifted to Pau hospital but died of his injuries. Four other walkers, a Spanish couple and their children aged three and five were also hurt. A spokesman for mountain security in the area


said: “Walkers must be careful of herds of cows and try to avoid them. They should also keep their distance from sheep being guarded by _patous_, the big white mountain dogs who watch


intruders with suspicion.” Photo: © Robert Kneschke - Fotolia.com
