Big bovine critters kill folks in all countries. I wonder if domestic stock kills more people than wild stock? I bet it does in light of the fact that farmers and ranchers work closely with such critters and thus are exposed to attacks quite regularly.
A search of "bull kills farmer", "bull kills rancher" or "horse kills farmer" or some such always brings up lots of news stories from all over the world. I believe, after crab fishing and logging, farming/ranching is the most dangerous job in America. Around here where fellows log, raise stock and crab fish during Spring breakup, life becomes a game of Russian Roulette of sorts. We just lost another young fellow a few weeks ago, killed by a tree.
