Walkers should honour the correct pathways.
Walkers should be aware of the dangers of certain livestock and know how to act with their dog in case of danger.
Surely if everyone works together there is a way forwad without litigation and culpability.

Have to ask though, why do people have to be inherently ignorant? If you don't know there are cows with calves in the field how are you supposed to be aware of the risk?

Sharp horns
Motherly instinct
Should be enough clues
And for the bulls
Spain Corrida

If you are walking on a public right-of-way, and a bull/cow(s) starts threatening the safety of you and your dog, would you have the right to shoot it...the same way a farmer can shoot your dog if it is threatening their livestock?
Like I say, purely hypothetical as I'm sure none of us walk with a gun!
