Title
Farm Animals, Thematic Issue
Description
Α long long time ago farm animals including the cow were domesticated by man to provide him with sustenance in his daily life. In the early days of farming cows were used to pull the plough in addition to providing man with milk and meat for nourishment. Farm girls employed to milk the cows often contracted cowpox. The virus that causes this disease in cows was used to develop a vaccine against the highly contagious human disease known as smallpox and which has since been eradicated.
The worldwide demand for milk and meat has resulted in cows being crammed into barren pens, standing around motionless, waiting to be fed or milked or even be injected with antibiotics. Selective breeding, specialized diets and growth hormones are used to increase milk production which in turn shorten the lives of these animals who never go out to graze.
People are now turning to organically produced milk and meat and in Holland it is still a pleasure to see cattle grazing in the fields.
