The Globe and the Post rarely investigate and write an article by themselves. They usually translate the one they pick in the national press and the translation is sometimes amazing.

The captain is quoted:
"[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Times]He said he thought there were dogs in front of the plane as it came into land, “but it turned out there were three cows wandering in the middle of the runway.”[/FONT][/COLOR]
Did he actually see the animals but mistook them for dogs and continued the landing?
Also deer incursion happen occasionally in airports in North America, including in larger International ones, for example:

Also Google searching for "deer on runway" will show more instance, but avoid seeing the images.

I see the BBC has gotten hold of the story and included a photo.

Burnt flesh smell inside the cockpit/cabin could possibly be attributed to an engine ingesting one of the cows. The environment control system takes air from the engine compressors to control the pressure and temperature inside the cabin.
The usual type of such an incident is a bird ingestion in mid air; this one would be the first time I hear of a cow ingestion. If this is the case in this incident, engine(s) heavy damage would be the other consequence."Science is the philosophy of discovery. Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance"

This photo would support that
