Once they were a byword for mindless docility. But cows have a secret mental life in which they bear grudges, nurture friendships and become excited over intellectual challenges, scientists have found.
I just couldn't resist excerpting this article from Britain's Sunday Times.
Any research on how they really feel towards cow tipping?
ReplyDeleteP.S.- I think cow tipping is really cruel btw.
I guess this proves that the California cheese commercials are not so far off from reality.
ReplyDeleteTo embelish a bit--soon we'll have a movement not to put down cows with mad cow disease because they have feelings too
ReplyDeleteI know...how sick of me
Yes Pia, cows DO have feelings. They are sentient, self-aware beings, more intelligent than a lot of the people I know. :-)
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the country, living next to a field of cows. I loved them.
California cheese? I've never seen a cow in all the times I've been there. Where do they get the milk? I'm confused.. I saw zebras there one time in a field, but no cows.
There are hundreds of cows somewhere on I-5 between Valencia and before Sacramento all waiting to become McDonald Quarterpounders. Oh god, I sound like Hector.
ReplyDeleteIf you really sounded like Hector you'd be suggesting having sexual relations with the cows prior to consuming their flesh.
ReplyDeleteI sent the link about the cows (the moody, gay nymphomaniacal cows, that is) to a friend of mine who responded with a link to an article about gay German penguins and the controversy a zoo is facing as they try to 'convert' their gay penguins.
