Cows are awesome. Go pet a cow sometime, they're extremely affectionate and just super chill.
Lol, they can be, they can (and do, several times a year in the UK alone) also stampede and trample a human/s to death quite easily (but also very deliberately. Edit to clarify - the stampede part is deliberate, I don't think the cows are necessarily homicidal lol).
Sure, they normally only do this when they feel threatened, but all it takes is a small dog nearby, or for the cow to have a calve you might not even see, and it's in defence mode.
I'm not trying to frame the cows as the problem, but this idea that they are docile animals you can just do whatever around (like people are literally paying money to "cuddle" cows) is wrong and dangerous. They are wild animals that are bigger and stronger than us, and should be treated as such.
