Cattle do not attack humans without reason. When encountering a situation with a “mad cow,” it is crucial to remain calm and avoid provoking the animal further.

Scientists indicate that cows will exhibit aggressive behavior when they feel threatened, either personally or towards their offspring. The protection of calves is a key factor in aggressive behavior in some cattle.
According to Lindependant, there are always some cows that cannot tolerate human proximity; these animals can become aggressive and dangerous when separated from their herd.
As a result, they may attack those around them.
Additionally, dogs are a significant factor contributing to the agitation of cattle.
Data from the UK Environmental Health and Safety Agency (HES) reveals that 94% of pedestrians attacked by cattle were walking dogs, and two-thirds of all attacks involved dogs.
Especially when encountering a case of “mad cow,” it is important to stay calm and absolutely avoid screaming or running in panic, as this will further provoke the animal’s aggression and pose a danger to many people nearby.
