Hello, Appics-Fam, 🐮 I lovingly christen this cow, which licks me so heartily, Bärbel ...

... the cow. Probably Bärbel has no name, but only a number under which she is listed, just like many of her sisters and brothers.
Bärbel lives in a barn where she is separated from her calves and has little room to live and her only job is to eat and give milk so that we are provided for. But Bärbel has much more to offer than that. Bärbel has character and a cow being all her own. I would love to see her grazing on a nice big pasture. 💚🐮
I would like to tell you some facts about cows.
🐮Cows have best friends
🐮Cows communicate with 🐮each other
Cows have a complex herd system
🐮Cows mourn for family members.
🐮Cows call after their separated calves.
🐮Cows have excellent senses.
and my Bärbel even has a sense of humor.😂👀
As a source on these facts I refer to: peta.de/kuehe

And then we take her milk again, which is for her calf, and pour it into our coffee and muesli.💭
And we don't even need the cow's milk. Instead of giving us calcium, as promised in the advertisements, it deprives us of calcium, which even deprives our bones and causes osteoporosis.
So many great alternatives have been developed. Besides almond drink, oat drink, rice drink, cashew drink, hazelnut drink, hemp drink, coconut milk, pea drink, lupine drink, the industry is researching other alternatives.🌿

Cheese: can be replaced by brewer's yeast flakes and by the vegan cashew mozzarella.

Yoghurt: is now available with a soya base. For those who want to avoid soy, it is also available with a coconut or cashew nut base.

In 2020 there would no longer be a need to maintain this exploitative system. The cows will be exploited and the dairy farmers even more so.
I hereby encourage you to take new paths. Not to tacitly accept everything, but to make a conscious decision at the supermarket. Consciously decide for animal suffering or against animal suffering, because that is what it is at the end of the day. Be encouraged to get to know new products, discover new tastes, get rid of old habits. This starts with nutrition and extends to all aspects of life. 💥
And even if an alternative does not taste good to you, do not give up. The market continues to develop and there is an incredible amount of potential in it. 💚

Dear Bärbel, I wish you that you will soon be able to live an animal-friendly life in freedom with your calves🐮
