India: Spooked stray cow causes carnage as it tries to leap fruit stall
Sunam Udham Singh Wala, India - April 20, 2025 This is the shocking moment a spooked stray cow caused carnage as it tried to hurdle a fruit stall. Two women were buying apples when the white bovine suddenly jumped onto the cart as it rampaged through the market in Punjab, India, on April 20. CCTV footage shows the customers frantically running as the bull dashes and hits the trolley, sending the products flying to the ground. No one reportedly sustained any serious injuries from the encounter. In another incident, a pair of stray bulls were seen fighting outside a police station in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, on February 10. Policemen gathered inside the station gate, observing the two creatures before eventually driving them away by spraying water from a hose. Authorities reported that the fight lasted for around 30 minutes, causing traffic disruptions and forcing motorists to park their vehicles farther away from the scene. Research suggests that bulls fight to establish a social hierarchy within their herd, essentially determining who is the dominant male and has the right to breed with the cows. This behaviour is driven by their natural instinct to compete for mating opportunities. In India, devout locals follow Hindu customs, with cows and bulls regarded as sacred animals that cannot be eaten or slaughtered once they have stopped producing milk. The majority of states ban the sale or slaughter of cows. Instead of dealing with the economic burden of keeping their spent cattle, many farmers let the beasts roam the streets, leading to chaos when the animals become agitated and turn their fury on humans.
