A cow's perspective: The story of CINNAMON #amreading #independenceday #govegan
Imagine that you're a dairy cow trying to make sense of your world. This short excerpt from CINNAMON, a dairy cow's (and her farmer's) path to freedom, does just that.
I shook my head in amazement. I saw an orange butterfly flit by
out of the corner of my eye. There must be some interesting flowers
around here.
Spice gave me a stern look that snapped me back to attention.
“This land isn’t free – even though it feels like the most natural thing
in the world to us. It sounded to me that if it wasn’t for Sunflower
(the cows' nickname for the farmer), this land wouldn’t even be here.
She has to pay money for lots of things. For
instance, she has to pay the farmhands,” she stated.
I knew half of that was a waste. But I just satisfied myself with a silent
eye roll that Spice ignored.
“Even our food and the grass seed have to be paid for with money,”
added Spice.
“You’re kidding me. That doesn’t seem right,” I replied. These things
are necessary to our survival – like air. I took a breath and swatted some
flies with my tail.
“Does she have to pay for the air, also?” I asked.
“Not that I know of,” replied Spice. “But even water requires
payment.”
I nodded as I chewed my cud. Things were starting to make sense.
