Sorry it is silly season again ....
The aggressive behaviour has been blamed on the season and holidaymakers visiting the region during the summer months have been warned to keep well away from cows.
A police spokesman said that Pyrenean cows were "generally of the Béarnaise and Blonde d'Aquitaine races" were particularly ferocious during the summer when they have their calves with them, according to the Times.
But there has been a backlash against tourists among locals, who believe the cows are being harassed.
"You shouldn't go annoying the cows on the pretext that you're on holiday," one resident wrote on an internet chatroom discussion board. "They were quite at home in their field." "Some of these tourists and walkers don't respect anything," said another: "They trample on flowers and mountain plants and get on cows' nerves."
