I heard today that the cows and sheep are in danger in the terrible flooding which is happening in Cumbria, northern England.
Apparently sheep have been put into barns, and aren't as badly off as the cows, though many who survived the flooding will still be in great danger from being wet. There seems to be no way to get them dry, and being constantly wet will most likely cause them to develop pneumonia. Many animals will not survive this.
We hear a lot on the news about the floods, but nothing much about the animals on radio news.
The story of many animals who drowned:

Meanwhile more rain is forecast, and it seems there is no change in the weather in sight yet.
