The shepherd, noticing the cow, tried to isolate her with a temporary plastic fence, but she managed to break it and return to the sheep. “She sniffed the herd and seemed to like it. She blended in perfectly with the group, and the sheep showed no signs of concern,” the man told the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung publication.
When the herd moved to another meadow, the cow was tranquilized and returned to her owner. The owner intended to send her to the slaughterhouse again, but animal rights activists intervened. Representatives from the Rüsselheim shelter, which already houses about 2000 animals, started an online fundraising campaign to help Müke. By the morning of November 13, residents of Germany had donated over 5000 euros. According to the developed plan, the cow will be transferred to another farm where she will be guaranteed care and attention.
