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.

I think this is a bull, not a cow. But, either way I am so glad he was rescued. He was jumping around like a young puppy. I never knew cattle could move like that. I hope the others that were engaged along with him got rescued as well. It’s so sad the way humans treat helpless animals. Good luck to you Mr. Bull.
