[Animal News]Cows are also part of the community life in Hong Kong. Human beings need to learn how to get along and communicate with each other. The driver, Mr. Chen, uploaded a 27-second driving recorder video on social media yesterday. In the clip, two cows bumped each other with their horns in the middle of the road. Volunteer Camile of “Fourteen Heights Niu Niu” said that it is common for healthy and happy bulls to play with their horns. Citizens should not make a fuss, and don’t get out of their cars to watch the fun. If necessary, they can contact cattle volunteers or the Animal Protection Association to guide the bulls on the spot. Just stay off the road.
Mr. Chen uploaded a video in the “car cam L (Hong Kong group)” Facebook group yesterday. In the video, there are two adult cows at the top corner of the center of the road, and the cars on both sides of the lane stop. The clip lasts for about 27 seconds. He told this newspaper that the incident took place in Tai Mo Shan. After the two cows played for a few minutes, they walked to the side traffic lane, and he drove away immediately, so it is unclear how long they played on the road afterwards.
Volunteer Camile said that it is normal for a healthy and happy bull to like to play with horns. This happens 10 to 20 times a day when the herd comes. .If they’re playing top corners in a dangerous place, we usually throw some water to separate them and lead them back to the woods.”
She also said that drivers must not get out of the car to watch the excitement. If necessary, they can contact the Animal Protection Association or cattle volunteers. They all have experience in leading cattle off the road.
For some netizens who pointed out that red cars or red shirts are dangerous when encountering this situation, Camile emphasized that the eyes of cows cannot distinguish between red and black, and they mainly rely on their sense of smell to distinguish whether they are companions, etc. He believes that cows should not be demonized. Mistakenly thought that cows would shudder when they saw red.
