Cattle fell into the water between the Dordogne and Charente-Maritime. A dozen firefighters, some of whom trained in the management of large animals, were dispatched to the scene.
The first cow had drifted to the La Roche Chalais hydroelectric dam, where it was stuck. The second animal was able to be ‘brought to safety in a field’ The third cow had not yet been found this Tuesday, leaving a bitter taste for Captain Loïc Maurin.
