“An article published … by the Centers for Disease Control [reported] that about 20 people a year are killed by cows in the United States… . In 16 cases, “the animal was deemed to have purposefully struck the victim,” the report states… . All but one victim died from head or chest injuries; the last died after a cow knocked him down and a syringe in his pocket injected him with an antibiotic meant for the cow. In at least one case, the animal attacked from behind.”
