Horror moment off-leash dog mauls helpless cows as ramblers watch…after outrage over American Bully biting police horse

A SHOCKING video shows the moment an out-of-control dog attacks Highland cows and their calves just days after an American Bully savagely attacked a police horse.

The footage was filmed at Pollok Country Park in Glasgow, Scotland, and shows the dog relentlessly biting at the legs and tail of one of the cows before turning its attention to the calves.

The clip was taken by shocked passer-by Conor Ashe, 27, who felt helpless as he watched the distressing incident unfold.

Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: “We were in Pollock park for a walk when we heard a commotion with the cows mooing so we ran back and there was a dog off the lead in with the cows.

“It was hanging off the back of one of the cow’s tails and it was going after the calves.

“It was stressful to watch because we couldn’t do anything.

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

The dog, which is believed to be a black and white bulldog breed called “Winston” can be seen attacking one of the cows before being flipped into the animal’s horns.

The cattle can be seen desperately trying to escape but the dog, ignoring all calls from its owner, does not give up and continues to pursue the calves.

Conor said: “Everyone watching was pretty shocked.

“The guy was trying to call his dog back but it just wasn’t paying attention.

“I think he was scared to go get his dog in case he got attacked by the cows too.

“Once they eventually got the dog back they ran away.

“They didn’t hang about to check if the cows were okay.

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

Conor reported the incident to staff at the Burrell Collection who said they would report the attack to Park Rangers.

The Pollok Park Highland cattle are prizewinning animals, taking part in around seven local agricultural shows per year.

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: “This is a shocking incident that will have caused significant distress for the cattle and their very young calves.

“Dog owners are expected to keep their dogs under close control while in the park, which means they should respond immediately to any command.

“If a dog cannot be kept under close control then it should be on a lead at all times.

“We will be reporting this matter to the police.”

The incident happened just days after another out-of-control dog savaged two police horses in Victoria Park in Hackney, East London.

The dog, an American Bully breed called Coco, bit the animals’ legs and bodies, whilst the owner, Hakan Niyazi allegedly stood by and watched.
