Mối phiền toái nguy hiểm

-----

Internet users have been warned to shun (xa lánh, lảng xa) an online cow-kissing challenge by the Austrian government, who called it a 'dangerous nuisance'. (mối phiền toái nguy hiểm)

A Swiss app called Castl launched the #KuhKussChallenge ('Cow Kiss Challenge') on Wednesday, encouraging users in Switzerland and other German-speaking countries to kiss cows - 'with or without tongues (lưỡi)' - to raise money for charity (quyên góp tiền từ thiện).

...However, Ms Koestinger said the craze was a 'dangerous nuisance' as she pointed out that cows with calves (bê con) could become aggressive (gây hấn, hùng hổ, hung hăng).

She added: 'Pastures (đồng cỏ, bãi cỏ) and meadows (đồng cỏ, bãi cỏ) are not petting zoos - actions like these could have serious consequences (hậu quả nghiêm trọng).'

Balancing the activities of tourists and cattle farmers is a sensitive topic in Austria's mountain regions, with both being key pillars of the region's economy.

In February, a court in the Tyrol region caused uproar after ordering a farmer to pay 490,000 euros ($555,000) in compensation to the widower of a woman who was trampled (giẫm đạp) to death by a herd of his cows in 2014.
