Reuters reports:
Now that I think about it, I do remember Zuzka warning me against an incredible urge to get cozy with them atop the wengen.

Keep your distance. Avoid eye contact. And even if it looks cute, never hug a Swiss cow.
Responding to numerous "reports of unpleasant meetings between hikers and cattle" along Switzerland's picture-perfect Alpine trails this summer, the Swiss Hiking Federation has laid down a few ground rules.
"Leave the animals in peace and do not touch them. Never caress a calf," the group's guidance, posted on the website www.swisshiking.ch, reads.
Now that I think about it, I do remember Zuzka warning me against an incredible urge to get cozy with them atop the wengen.
this line is the killer though:
"new rearing practices, where the animals spend less time around farmers and wander in pastures with little human interaction, were partly to blame for the anti-social behaviour."

Dude, thats a hilarious one!! Anti social cows! This is something I would expect to happen in the states. What next lol...
