Most cows don’t get to have even a few moments of peace during their lifetimes. From birth to slaughter, their lives are full of fear, pain, and suffering without respite. Perhaps that’s why this video of Mike, a rescued cow at The Barn Sanctuary, is so captivating.
Mike was surrendered by a dairy farmer who couldn’t afford to treat his various ailments, which consisted of bone deformities, cataracts, and blindness in one eye. At the Barn Sanctuary, they were willing to do whatever they could to help Mike. They put splints on Mike’s legs to help him walk, and then Mike and Dan, The Barn Sanctuary’s founder, road-tripped from Michigan to California for Mike’s eye surgery. Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful, but being blind doesn’t inhibit Mike from enjoying life at the sanctuary. He even has a seeing-eye friend, D.J., to help and snuggle with him.
It’s beautiful to see how much Mike can trust a human despite being born into the dairy industry. This sweet video of him will no doubt calm you down and bring a smile to your face.
