00:00How grateful she is, please, how grateful she is!
00:31The truth is that I had the feeling that she was asking me to take care of her baby.
00:39As if she was giving it to me.
00:41And the truth is that it was like that because the next day she died of an internal bleeding.
00:49And then, of course, joy, because the confidence that she has had in me, in the humans who have taken care of her, but sadness because she is gone.
01:07What is the story of this cow?
01:15It is a cow that we rescued just a few days before it was sent to the slaughterhouse.
01:21And we do not know if this cow was due to its history of exploitation.
01:28Of course, in cattle farms they do not treat animals as we treat them in sanctuaries.
01:35Its attitude was completely different from other animals in the sanctuary that have come from small.
01:41And she has never allowed us to get close to her less than two meters.
01:48In fact, if you tried to get closer, with the horns, she already warned you that she was going to give you.
01:57And well, she gave birth.
02:00And it was a fairly complicated birth because the baby, as you can see in the video, is bigger than normal.
02:08So it started to complicate the birth.
02:12And well, it had already been about half an hour, a little bit of the baby out.
02:17And the veterinarian took a long time to arrive because, of course, the veterinarian does not only attend to us.
02:24In other cases, he was doing other emergencies.
02:27And well, we had to help her.
02:31I had to put my hand in, see that the baby was in position.
02:35And we threw and came, hoping that every time she had a contraction, to help her.
02:41And when she threw, the baby fell on me.
02:47Because she is a female, she is an avi.
02:50And nothing else.
02:52She fell on me, running.
02:55I introduced her to the mother so that she could see her.
02:58And well, her mother began to kiss me, grateful for having helped her and her baby.
03:10And that, the truth is that it has been very exciting because if it had been from another cow,
03:16that she has been with us longer and that we could touch her,
03:19but being from Fresel, that we could not touch her,
03:22it was a very special moment that shows that it was out of gratitude.
03:46I was very shocked by the suffering I saw there,
03:49when I saw the cows that were on one side and the babies on the other, locked in cages.
03:54Because, of course, the cows, so that they can give birth, they have to give birth.
03:58They don't give birth because they do.
04:01The same thing happens with humans.
04:03They only give birth when they have a baby.
04:05Of course, every year, in the dairy industry,
04:10they artificially inseminate it and when it gives birth,
04:13they take it away and put it in a cage.
04:16And a few days later, they take it to the slaughterhouse.
