Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 THROUGH THE EYES OF A CALF They're different, those cows. Skinny, most of them, with two skins, and their heads emerging out of the outer skin. Sometimes, on hot days, other parts poke out too. They walk on their back legs. They make strange sounds too. And you should see their hooves. I did and I was in shock! They must be really embarrassed to have hooves like that, because they stick them inside a kind of hard skin cover, and clop around in it. Can't say I blame them. Another thing is they are SO lazy, because whenever they have to go anywhere further than the length of our paddock, they hop inside one of the mouths of this thing, which has four twirling eyeballs for feet...wierd! Not only that, but it makes a noise and smell worse than an old granny with the belches... My mum says to be careful of them, as they treat you nicely one day, and are horrible the next. All my brothers were taken away by them when they were babies, still drinking milk. All the time my mother was crying for them to come back... They never did. Sometimes, my mother still cries for them. I go up to her and lick her face, to let her know, "Its OK, you still have me." I try to make her feel better. After a while she stops crying, but her eyes look sad. I don't know what happened to my brothers. My friends say these other cows killed them, that they kill all our type of cow, when we get a bit old. They kill, and then they eat us. And there is nothing we can do to stop them. They know how to undo our gates, and we don't. Sometimes, we are so scared we find a gap in the fence and escape. But they find us and bring us back. I know the day will come when I will be taken away for killing and being eaten. I just wish those cows would just learn to be happy eating grass, or other stuff like the yummy things that grow on trees, instead of killing to eat. Maybe some of them do. I can't think of anyone more horrible than these furless, beady-eyed, two-skinned cows, who treat us nicely to get our mother's milk, then later on eat us for dinner. Although they don't have sharp teeth and claws, they are more dangerous and cruel than anything. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
