Cow Collapses on Man -- Guess Whose Condition Is Unknown?

I just saw this news piece from the AP, out of Florida:

The St. Lucie County Fire District reports that a man in his early 30s, who was not identified, was milking cows early Friday morning when one of the animals fell on him. . . .

His injuries were not considered life-threatening, and he was released from the hospital later in the day.

It's not clear if the cow was injured.

The human is fine, but his experience warrants a news release. The cow whose collapse led to the man's injuries? We don't know what happened to her or why she collapsed or fell in the first place. Because no one really cares. Because she was just a milk machine.
