http://news4colorado.com/localnews/local_story_296141523.html Jogger Seeks Lost Wages From Attack Cow's Owner, City Oct 22, 2003 12:12 pm US/Mountain BOULDER, Colo. (AP) A jogger who was rammed three times by a cow protecting her calf and sustained two pelvic fractures now is seeking reimbursement for her lost wages from the owner of the cow and the city. "I'm asking for a very modest amount," said Elaine Kingston. "I've asked for lost wages. But I didn't ask for pain and suffering -- I'm still suffering." The encounter last March happened when Kingston, 57, accidentally ran between the cow and her calf while jogging on a city trail. Albert and Leo Hogan, the owners of the cow, lease the land from Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. Their insurance company offered a settlement, but Kingston said it wasn't enough. Albert Hogan said he didn't know the details of the offer because he hasn't had contact with Kingston since he filed the insurance claim over the incident. Kingston also made a claim against the city, but assistant city attorney Walt Fricke said he denied it in a letter sent to Kingston's lawyer Tuesday. "The city has immunity from claims of that sort," he said. "You can't sue a government except in certain areas where immunity has been waived -- and immunity has not been waived for animals that end up harming people on park land." Kingston said she may resort to a lawsuit if it's needed.

'Twas probably an imported European cow. We use them to simulate conditions in NYC road races so
that if we can save enough money and travel to Yankeeland on one o' them thar' new-fangled sailing
vessels we wouldn't be surprised by the myriad of dangers in big city races.

Cows are amazingly good judges of one's character. And after all, it was only a broken
pelvis. No foul.

Well, I guess there's the definitive answer on whether Red Bull will improve your running
performance or not.

See, there's your mistake. You'd get a better sim if you imported bulls from Spain instead. Or just
take a trip there and run with the bulls.

An in-depth article in last weeks Boulder Weekly said there are several cow attacks a year in the
Boulder open lands. Most of them are in the spring calving season. It was not an unknown problem
to the city.
The women compantant is an independent HR consulant. She is asking for $25K in medical bills and
lost wages for six months. No P&S claim.

No, the real absurdity here is running within the city limits of a major US city and seeing a cow. I
live in Syracuse with serious farming all around including dairy, but you will not find a cow within
city limits! Boulder, Colorado, just got demoted from city to hick-town, if you ask me. And if you
don't run away from a large mobile unleashed animal with horns, who is the advanced mammal and who
is the fool? The cow ought to sue for pain and suffering when it felt its calf was endangered by a
bipedal interloper! -- Josh in the metropolis of Syracuse

Is he sure it was a cow? Could it have been aliens, big foot, dracula or maybe Santas reindeer?
