A mother was injured by a cow after her family approached a herd to get a better look.

Lanette and her family were enjoying a leisurely walk through Cobham Wood in Kent when their peaceful outing took a terrifying turn. They had come across a herd of Highland cows and decided to get a closer look. Lanette's sister assured her that the cows were friendly and they continued on, but Lanette couldn't shake off her unease.

As they got closer, Lanette's fears were confirmed as one of the cows started approaching her. Lanette stood her ground, trying to remain calm, but she knew deep down that things were about to go horribly wrong. The cow suddenly lunged at her, throwing her in the air and impaling her on its horn.

Despite the shock and pain, Lanette and her family couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. But Lanette's injuries were no laughing matter. She was left with huge bruises and a lasting fear of the attack. Even in her sleep, she couldn't escape the nightmares of the cow coming after her again.

The family couldn't believe that something like this could happen in a public place, where children and elderly people also frequent. Lanette's biggest fear was that her mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's, could have been the one attacked. She considers herself lucky to have escaped with just bruises, but the outcome could have been much worse.

Lanette is now urging the National Trust to take measures to prevent this from happening to anyone else. She believes that a fence should be placed to keep the cows separated from visitors. She was shocked to learn that the cows were allowed to roam freely and that there were no warning signs in the area.

The National Trust has since responded, stating that they were extremely concerned about the incident and are working with their grazier and experts to ensure visitor safety. Lanette hopes that her experience will lead to better safety measures in place for others. She doesn't blame the cow, as it was only defending its territory, but she wants to prevent anyone else from getting hurt.
