Sometimes cows refuse to be turned into mere commodities. They run, they fight back, and they even learn how to be wild. Around the world, cows have been resisting captivity and slaughter. We've been taught that cows are mere objects, and we normally think little of how they are confined, branded, tortured, castrated, dehorned, forcibly impregnated, and slaughtered so that companies can sell their milk, meat, and skin for profit. The truth is that cows are sentient, intelligent, social, playful, resourceful, and sometimes indignant.
