The Ultimate Defence

Oddly Enough News Article Reuters.co.uk

This has to be a story of the ultimate defence of an offspring! I know from having worked on a farm that that the maternal instinct is very strong in animals, and that the paternal instinct to defend offspring is almost non existent. It would be a very foolish person indeed who decided to argue with a cow that is hell bent on defending her calf. However, I do think that this is taking the defence of an offspring to the extreme, especially as the child was in the wrong anyway. Although I suppose that it does bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "aiming a kick".
