Agressive foreign cows attacking British ramblers The walker had been with a friend when the herd charged. They trampled the pair leaving one dead and the other with serious injuries. Carl Maynard of East Sussex Council said: "Thankfully serious incidents involving walkers and cattle are very rare. However, we would always recommend walkers take steps to keep themselves as safe as possible. We want people to enjoy the beautiful countryside East Sussex has to offer, but we would encourage people to consider taking a mobile phone when out walking so they can call for help if they need to. Among the advice given is to move as "quickly and quietly as possible" while keeping dogs "close and under effective control on a lead." Walkers should also avoid getting between cows and their calves and "not panic or run." Most cows will stop before reaching you. John Archer, from the National Farmers' Union, reminded walkers that the countryside remains a working environment. He added: "Walkers should be mindful of their surroundings and especially vigilant on entering a field where the whole field cannot be seen. Follow the advice above and be sympathetic to animals that are rearing their young - please give them space. Mr Grumett added: "These incidents usually involve somebody walking their dog. The important thing to remember is not to try to protect your dog - they can run faster than a cow can and will be able to get away easily.
