Shocking moment out-of-control dog attacks cows and young calves in Glasgow park

Shocking video shows the moment a stray bulldog mauled a group of Scottish Highlanders and their young calves in a ‘disturbing’ attack.

The out-of-control black and white bulldog, named Winston, runs into the Glasgow field and bites the legs and tail of one of the cows as its owner tried to recall it.

The cattle then desperately try to escape the dog and charge back at the dog when it turns its attention to their calves. A cow is filmed repeatedly striking the animal with its horns, causing it to flip over in mid-air.

The attack comes just days after an American bully wrecked a police horse once pictured with Queen Consort Camilla.

Conor Ashe, who filmed the incident, said he was walking in Pollock Park when he heard a ‘commotion with the lowing of the cows’.

He ran back to the crowds and saw a stray dog ​​walking among the cows.

“It hung on the back of one of the cow’s tails and it went after the calves. It was stressful to watch because there was nothing we could do,” Ashe, 27, said.

“It had been on the leg of one of the cows for about a minute before I started filming, so we were concerned it could kill or seriously injure one of them.”

“One cow was limping after the attack. I couldn’t see if she was badly hurt, but it didn’t look good.”

Mr. Ashe recalled that Winston’s owner tried to call him back, but the dog was “not paying attention.”

“I think he was afraid to go get his dog in case he got attacked by the cows too,” he said of the owner. “When they finally got the dog back, they ran away. They didn’t hang around to see if the cows were okay.’

The passerby reported the incident to Burrell Collection staff, who said they would notify Park Rangers of the attack.

Mr. Ashe added, “Everyone watching was pretty shocked.”

Furious council bosses have described the incident as “disturbing” and reiterated that dog owners are expected to “control their dogs while at the park.”

Furious council bosses have described the incident as “disturbing” and reiterated that dog owners are expected to “control their dogs while at the park.”

A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council told the Record: ‘This is a shocking incident which will have caused great suffering to the cattle and their very young calves.

“Dog owners are expected to control their dogs in the park, which means responding immediately to any command.

‘If a dog cannot be controlled properly, it must always be kept on a leash. We’ll report it to the police.’

Scotland Police said the incident has not yet been reported to them. MailOnline has approached Pollock Park and Glasgow City Council for comment.

The Pollok Park Highland cattle are prize-winning animals and participate in approximately seven local agricultural shows each year.

Highland cattle were first brought to Pollok Country Park over 180 years ago in the early 1800s by the Maxwell family, who owned Pollok Estate and lived at Pollok House.

The Pollok Park attack comes just days after officers seized an American bully on Wednesday who assaulted a veteran police horse in Victoria Park, Hackney, London.

Graphics posted to social media show the attack and how the dog’s owner appears powerless to control his animal after releasing it off leash.

The bulldog, named Coco, is seen darting between the horse’s legs to bite it, at one point forcing it to fall to its knees.

The horse, named Urbane, suffered multiple bloody wounds on its body and legs.

Owner Hakan Niyazi, 24, claimed that ‘gentle’ Coco had only reacted because she was ‘intimidated’ after meeting a horse for the first time when he took her for a training session to socialize with other dogs at a park near his house.

Mr Niyazi said the horse became “skittish” when Coco approached it out of curiosity and then “defended” itself, believing it was going to be attacked.

He now fears that his pet, which has been seized by agents, will be destroyed.

Urbane was once befriended and caressed by Queen Consort Camilla during a royal visit in 2019. The horse appeared calm and gentle in the photo with Camilla.
