When Hanni hears her owner’s call, she knows it’s time for dinner and comes trotting over in happy anticipation of a round of hay and lukewarm water.
Hanni is an 18-year-old cow living on a farm run by Karin Mueck and Jan Gerdes in Butjadingen, in northern Germany. That makes Hanni a lucky cow because here, animals are not milked or slaughtered.
