@Miso: Thanks, Miso! Sriram from Chennai, IndiaLovely image! and indeed a superb expression! BEautiful capture! 26 Sep 2007 6:33am @Sriram: Thanks, Sriram! The ear tags are obliged by the European Community and intended to trace back diseases. This young cow will spend her life as milk cow. I regret the use of ear tags but the mass consumption of dairy and meat urge us to use them, alas! MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomWhen I see this I feel, sad, that he may be bound for market and the butchers tray! 26 Sep 2007 10:32am @MaryB: She will be for the butcher after a good life as a milk cow. I also regrety the ear tags, they are obliged by the European Community and intended to trace back diseases. The mass consumption of dairy and meat urge us to use them, alas! Wolfgang Prigge from CanadaVery sad expression, I remember times when cows had names, no numbers! 26 Sep 2007 11:14am @Wolfgang Prigge: Thanks Wolfgang, glad you returned again, I hope you enjoyed your European trip and will post a picture or so. Formerly we had "cattle drawers" who made drawings of every individual cow with her dark and light pattern so that she could be identified. Now we have these tags. The ear tags are obliged by the European Community and intended to trace back diseases. This young cow will spend her life as milk cow. I regret the use of ear tags but the mass consumption of dairy and meat urge us to use them, alas! @rainsocks: Thanks Rainsocks! (BTW I cycled today through a heavy rain shower with my rainsuit put on, only my ankles were unprotected, so I remember this when I read your name :-)). The ear tags are obliged by the European Community and intended to trace back diseases. This young cow will spend her life as milk cow. I regret the use of ear tags but the mass consumption of dairy and meat urge us to use them, alas! @Shutterbug: Thanks you, Shutterbug! We see cows as cattle, not as holy creatures, although we respect if other people see them as holy. After all it's better to consider cows as holy, than cars, like we do, these vehicles threaten the world climate and cost many deads and wounded in traffic. Rabbit from Richmond, United StatesThat its a reflection on our society. With this poor cows plastic fashion earrings. 26 Sep 2007 1:49pm @Rabbit: Rabbit I agree. See my responses to the other comments. sandrine from Cincinnati, United StatesGot to love cows! This picture is a little sad though because of the ear tags, I guess it's kinda like earings for us? She does have a look of trust it seems like. Like a puppy almost. 26 Sep 2007 5:12pm @sandrine: It's an adolescent cow, her horns are starting to grow and will be removed soon (I don't know why). The tags are more or less like the brands the cowboys marked their cattle with. The ear tags are obliged by the European Community and intended to trace back diseases. This young cow will spend her life as milk cow. I regret the use of ear tags but the mass consumption of dairy and meat urge us to use them, alas! Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdomoh no!…oh dear….. she looks very mournful indeed….and with good reason too… :( 26 Sep 2007 10:16pm Wolfgang Prigge from CanadaHi Erik, if you want to see pictures from my trip you will have to go to my personal site as granby.aminus3 is strictly limited to pictures of our town Granby.
