Oh crap, this got to me. A cow named Bandit (correction – that would be a bull, forgive me I was an idiot when I first wrote this!) had been reportedly kept in inhumane, cramped conditions its entire life. A German animal rights group ( Gut Aiderbichl ) came in and could only rescue one cow in the barn, and Bandit was the chosen one. Watch how it jumps and scampers around, seemingly celebrating its newfound freedom.
Then there’s the incredibly well chosen music, and suddenly I’m feeling all the feelings.
The video isn’t actually new… it’s been around for a couple of years, but the viral world sets its own rules, and now it’s suddenly surging in hits.
Salad for me today.

That rescued animal is a bull not a cow. Cows are female and the word cow is not used to mean male or female! A cow is a cow and a bull is a bull; together they are cattle. But I’m glad he was rescued!
