sorry let's all be super serious and light a candle, cause that's gonna bring him back from the dead....

maybe if we pray hard enuf and look sad enuf, God will bring this man back to his family.

every body close your eyes, and cross your fingers and WISH really hard, and then GOD will bring him back to life...

yeah cos I've always been the religious type...

I don't know why it's news at all. Someone died, and it's being spread around for lols. I just think that's disgusting.

I do agree though I don't think the initial post was for lols, it has just evolved that way and I hold up my hands to helping it along in that way.

No no that's true, I can see it's being reported because it's a rarity.

Iowa woman dies after cow attack

Published: June 20, 2011 at 8:53 AM

DES MOINES, Iowa, June 20 (UPI) -- An Iowa woman died after a being attacked by a cow on a farm in Benton County, officials said.

Killed Saturday was Jean Fee, 60, of Urbana. Her year-old grandson was uninjured.

"It's pretty unusual for a cow to become aggressive," Terry Engelken, an associate professor at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, told Monday's Des Moines Register. "We have a few instances of [cow attacks] across the country every year -- but it's uncommon. For it to result in a fatality is very uncommon."

Matt Fee, the woman's son, said his parents and nephews often go into a pasture to feed ears of corn to the cows. Jean Fee, her husband and grandson were on such an outing when the incident occurred.

"My dad went back to the house to get my nephew a drink," Matt Fee said. "The best we can figure is the cow became aggressive, and my mom was protecting my nephew, and the cow hit her with its head and it stopped her heart."

Figures reveal that attacks by cows are by no means unusual. According to data released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), there have been 67 incidents in the past five years (up to 2009) in which a member of the public has reported being injured by cattle. In six of the cases the person was killed.

The risk is even greater for farm workers whose injuries are recorded separately. Over the same period there were 23 fatal incidents involving farmers and their employees, another 300 that resulted in "major" harm and 277 in which the injury took more than three days to heal. Far more go unreported.

The Cows think you may attack their young.

So if you have a Dog let it go
as then the Cows will chase that
saving you.

I have been trapped by cows in a corner
but I did not panic
I waited for a chance to get away,
and I have never had a problem since
