Cattle are considered dangerous and authorities warn civilians not to approach the animals. Those who see a stray cow are encouraged to contact the police and not deal with them for their own safety.
“IF YOU SEE CATTLE, PLEASE CALL THE WSPD EMERGENCY EMERGENCY NUMBER,” police said. “Be extremely careful as cows roam and there are reports of accidents.”
