And here's the link. And they don't so much fall on people as they do attack people. Maybe that's fair, since we do eat a lot of them. Vegetarianism might be a better idea than we knew. (Thanks, C, for finding this article!) Bonus Far Side cartoon:
In England, when cows attack dogs (which they don't like) it is normally to protect their young calves. Probably best to be wary of them when crossing a field, but there are a lot of other things that can kill you as well!
I'll be in Ireland in the early spring---and I won't take cows so casually now. My aunt and uncle owned a dairy farm; I was never chased by a cow, but I sure was by a very large hog. I must have been screaming bloody murder (I was in grade school) because my aunt came running out of the house with a broom to chase him off.
