Can't find a single thing about it on t'internet but it's just been on the local ITV Calendar news. A farmer has been fined £700 odd and £4.5k costs for not ensuring the safety of a dog walker who was attacked by cows :mad: The victim was knocked to the floor and then one particular cow "reared up on it's hind legs and came down on her with it's front feet" :ROFLMAO: She then climbed a tree to escape the attack, the dog fecked off and of course there were no witnesses so the judge bought it:mad:

Think she’s getting cows and horses mixed up, the only time a cow will rear is when it’s about to mount another, because it’s got the horn….

Would they go walking down the middle of a motorway?
I most definitely would not walk through a field of suckler cows with a dog

Dog owner to pay £1,500 court bill after huskies chased and attacked sheep

A dog owner faces a court bill of more than £1,500 after her huskies chased and attacked a flock of sheep.

A DOG owner faces a court bill of more than £1,500 after her huskies chased and attacked a flock of sheep.


Cristina Charterjee’s two dogs worried the 67 animals on a North Yorkshire farm for 20 minutes despite the efforts of four adults trying to stop them, said Mel Ibbotson, prosecuting.
Four of the sheep were injured and the farmer told police sheep worrying can lead to longer term impacts including miscarriages and stress leading to death, York magistrates heard.
It was the latest in a series of incidents where Charterjee’s huskies have chased sheep on the same farm, the farmer said in her court statement. She had called the police out three times over the problem, the statement added.
Charterjee, 50, of Bromley Lane, Newby north of Northallerton, was not in court. She pleaded guilty to sheep worrying in a letter in which she explained why she couldn’t attend court. She lives close to the farm.


The incident happened on October 27, during the period when sheep farmers run tups, or male sheep, with ewes to get them pregnant.

The maximum sentence for sheep worrying is a £1,000 fine.

Magistrates said it was a serious incident and there appeared to have been previous incidents.

They imposed the maximum fine, with a statutory reduction of a third for Charterjee’s guilty plea, making the sentence a £660 fine. Charterjee must also pay £500 compensation to the farmer, a £264 statutory surcharge and £85 prosecution costs, making a total of £1,509.

Ms Ibbotson said sheep worrying has a "large impact" on the farmer's livelihood, as well as the financial and emotional impact.

The flock contained 65 ewes and two tups. The farmer and her son tried to get the dogs off the sheep as did Charterjee and her partner.

The dogs had climbed over a fence into the field. Afterwards, the farmer found two of the ewes had blood on them and two ewes had puncture bite marks. She paid £120.38 for medical care and treatment is ongoing.


Interviewed by police, Charterjee said the farmer and her son had made it more difficult to get the dogs away from the sheep because they were shouting and waving pitchforks.

The dogs had escaped from her premises and she invited police to see changes she said she had made to prevent the dogs escaping again.

No need for fine, either shoot both offending dogs or the dogs owner if they object.

An update on the above story :(

38-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of a three-year-old who was run over by a tractor on a farm in 2022.

Neil Speakman, of Bentley Hall Road in Bury, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter following the tragedy nearly two years ago, Greater Manchester Police confirmed today.

The charge relates to the death of Albie Speakman, 3, who was killed when he was run over by a small tractor on a farm in Bury, Greater Manchester, in July 2022.
Chief Inspector Ian Partington said at the time that it was a "heart-breaking incident that has seen a young boy tragically lose his life".
"My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones who will be utterly devastated by today’s events," he said.“Despite his family flagging down an ambulance while driving him towards hospital quickly as they could, the boy sadly could not be saved after the best efforts of paramedics."
Mr Speakman has been released to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on 16 April 2024.
