From a human perspective, cows are one of the most amazing animals on Earth.

Well, think about it. Cows are gifts to humankind.

They literally ask for nothing in return from us.

They do not require us to exist, nor do they act violently towards us.

At the same time, cows provide humans with food, clothing, milk, butter, cheese, fuel, and even a cleanser.

Cows would get along just fine without human interaction.

Cows allow themselves to be used, serve, and even be consumed by us for our survival.

Not many other animals can say they have such an indelible mark on human history.
