Introduction
With the expansion of high-speed highways, traffic accidents involving street cows and bulls have reached alarming levels. A collision with a large bovine is incredibly dangerous for both the animal and the driver. Because of their massive size, you cannot handle this the same way you would a dog rescue. Here is the exact protocol.
Step 1: Secure the Area An injured cow lying on a dark road is a massive hazard.
- Park your car safely with hazard lights flashing.
- Place reflective triangles well behind the accident site.
- Keep crowds away. Crowds severely panic an already terrified animal.
Step 2: Do Not Attempt to Move the Animal Unless you are a trained professional, never attempt to drag or lift an injured cow or bull. Improper lifting can turn a treatable spinal or leg injury into a permanent, fatal one.
Step 3: Call for Heavy Duty Backup You need a specialized large-animal ambulance equipped with hydraulic lifts.
- Search for “Large Animal Rescue NGO near me” or “Gaushala ambulance [Your City]”.
- Provide the exact GPS location, the size of the animal, and the visible injuries.
