On September 30, a 70-year-old woman was seriously injured by a cow in Montferrat, Isère. Around 11 a.m., she was helping her son, a farmer, move a sick cow. According to Dauphiné Libéré, the cow became "excited" and charged. The farmer managed to avoid the animal, but his mother was struck directly and thrown to the ground. Firefighters quickly arrived at the scene and provided initial care. The woman suffered a head injury and was evacuated by helicopter to the hospital in Grenoble for further treatment. At the time of the incident, the cow was already sick and was supposed to be isolated until a veterinarian could examine it. This incident is not the first of its kind. In recent months, similar accidents involving cattle have been reported in several regions of France. On September 28, a 71-year-old man was seriously injured after being charged by a cow in Lavigney, Haute-Saône. According to France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, emergency services treated the man and evacuated him by helicopter to the hospital in Besançon. Another incident occurred earlier this summer in the Pyrénées-Orientales. In mid-August, a 78-year-old tourist was charged by a cow while hiking near the commune of Err. She suffered minor injuries to her arms and knees. In response to the increasing number of such incidents, farmers in the Pyrénées-Orientales launched a campaign for hikers during the summer of 2025. According to Ici, the campaign encourages people to maintain a safe distance from animals and to keep their dogs on a leash. Farmers also urged hikers to avoid taking selfies with animals, as these interactions can heighten the risk of an accident. The goal is to raise awareness and reduce the likelihood of future incidents involving livestock and people in rural areas.
