Escaped cows wander into German hospital emergency room

A herd of six cows made an unexpected visit to the emergency room of the Wolfhagen district clinic in North Hesse, Germany, causing a stir on Tuesday. The unusual incident began when eight cows escaped their pasture and headed towards the hospital. A passerby alerted the police after noticing the wandering animals.

Authorities managed to contain two of the cows in the clinic's parking lot. However, six of the escapees found their way into the hospital building. They entered through the emergency room's motion-sensor-activated door and proceeded to wander up the staircase to the second floor. The cows left their mark on the facility amidst their unplanned excursion.

The owner, with the assistance of the police and helpers, swiftly recaptured the bovine visitors. They were then guided back to their pasture, located approximately one kilometer from the clinic, using a herding cart. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the people or the animals. The police noted that the cows had left behind "various excretions" due to their excitement, concluding that whether the cows intended to visit the clinic or were simply lost remains a mystery.
