A woman from Cape Town has shared a shocking video on the seventh of August showing the moment a cow with anger issues runs over a young man during a loading gone wrong.
Facebook user @sinengomso.resha, who lives in Cape Town, filmed the dramatic incident that has left South Africans stunned.
The video shows about 10 men trying to pull a stubborn cow towards a truck. The animal was clearly resisting their efforts, refusing to move forward despite multiple people pulling on its horns. Everything changed when someone decided to hit the cow from behind with a stick to make it cooperate.
The moment the cow felt the stick, it became furious and started charging forward at full speed. Most of the men who were pulling the cow managed to jump out of the way quickly, but one young man wasn't fast enough. The angry cow aimed its horns directly at him and trampled him to the ground.

How to control a cow
According to experts at the University of Minnesota Extension, proper cattle handling is vital for safety. They explain that cows need to be moved calmly and quietly, as yelling and sudden movements make them stressed and unpredictable. The most important rule is staying calm because scared cows move in hurried and dangerous ways.
The experts say you should never approach cows from behind because they have a blind spot there, which can make them kick or take off suddenly. When moving cattle, handlers should position themselves at a 45 to 60 degree angle from the cow's shoulder to stay visible while guiding the animal safely.
The video went viral with over 25,000 reactions and more than 1,600 comments. Many people were concerned about the man's condition, while others noticed that the cow only became aggressive after being hit with the stick.
