Farmer killed by falling cow
2005-07-26
Cows, why do they hate us?ZAGREB (Reuters) - A Croatian farmer was killed when a cow he was about to milk fell and crushed him, local media reported Tuesday. The unfortunate 61-year-old farmer, from the village of Cadjavacki Lug in central Croatia, went into the stable where his family keeps nine cows, as he had every morning for the past 20 years, the Vecernji List newspaper reported. "I think he slipped, grabbed the milking machine and knocked it over. That must have frightened the cow, which slipped and fell on top of him," his distraught daughter-in-law, who was in the stable with him, told the daily. "It took me and the rest of the family almost three minutes to get the cow off him."
Turned him into a cow patty
She said the cow, named Lara, had been very meek and that even children could milk her without fear. The newspaper did not say what had become of the cow.

#2  Wasn't there a flying cow, dangling from a rope tied to a hot air balloon, that eventually became a falling cow in the movie "Rat Race?"
