    Thank you for sharing this! It’s heartwarming to know some cows have successfully escaped this horrific system.

    Last fall, a cow in Poland fled the farm that enslaved her and ran into the primeval Białowieża Forest. This is a dangerous forest for a domesticated animal, since hungry wolves wander through it and foliage gets scarce in the winter. Luckily, the cow found a group of fifty wild bison who accepted her into their herd. She was spotted with the bison once in November and again in January. The bison seem to have protected her from predators and taught her how to survive in the woods.

    This one reads like a folk story and I hope it’s becoming one and her bravery inspires even a just a few people to consider these systems of cruelty and stop consuming animals.
