Why do cows cry when they are slaughtered, because of human nature? The expert explanation is surprising

Cow sheds tears when slaughtered, experts explain surprising

Introduction: The cattle are of great significance to the development of human society. For example, after cattle were domesticated in the past, they could help people to cultivate the land. However, there is a saying in the countryside that cattle are very humane. Cow tears when slaughtered.

Maybe many people have not seen such a thing with their own eyes, but on TV or from some small online videos, we can also see that cows seem to be really human animals, and they will be slaughtered when they are slaughtered. Cry, and even kneel to his master.

In fact, experts in related fields have explained this matter, but when people listened to the explanation, they felt very surprised.

There is a popular saying among the people: "If you die of poverty, you won't sell the watchdog, and if you die of starvation, you won't kill the arable cattle."

The main meaning of this sentence is to say that even if the family is poor, don't sell the family's watchdog, and don't kill the cattle that cultivate the land for the family.

Because in the early days of agriculture, animals like cattle were regarded as labor. If the labor in the family was slaughtered, there would be a lack of labor, and a family's crops and economic sources would not be guaranteed.

It can be seen that eating meat in ancient times was a very luxurious thing for ordinary people.

However, nowadays, with the continuous development of agricultural science and technology, various high-tech equipment in the farmland has become more and more developed, and cattle are no longer used as a single labor force for people.

Today, the value that cattle contribute to human society is to provide beef and milk.

Why do cows cry when they are slaughtered, because of human nature? The expert explanation is surprising

In some remote mountainous areas, people still have the habit of raising cattle, so many people said that they could see the phenomenon of cows shedding tears.

When the master saw this scene, he would definitely not bear it.

Even if the current cow does not help people to increase, he will inevitably have a little feeling as a member of the family.

So now in many places, cows will be blindfolded when they are in cattle.

Because human beings are an animal with emotions, many people feel sad even when they see tears of other species, so it can only be done in this way.

In addition to cattle, for some people who like to keep cats and dogs, when the cats and dogs at home enter their old age or are about to reach the end of their lives, the owners will also feel very sad.

Maybe many people think that the cow shedding tears is a manifestation of human nature, but it is not.

Because apart from humans, the vast majority of animals in the world have an "emotional system".

For animals, especially cows, they may be more sensitive to "pain" than humans.

So when their pain is beyond their tolerance, they will make stressful reflexes, such as shedding tears or other methods.

Therefore, the reason why the cow shed tears before being slaughtered has nothing to do with "humanity" at all, it is mainly related to the emotional system in his body.

In addition, some experienced veterinarians believe that the reason why cows shed tears may also be related to the invasion of viruses and their bodies.

Therefore, generally at this time, the veterinarian will recommend to treat the cow first, and if it does not work, then kill the cowboy.

Because of the invasion of the virus, there may be a chance of cure. If there is no cure, the virus in the body may multiply and affect the normal life of the cow, and even make the cow more painful, so they will choose to slaughter them.

But in ancient times, people's thinking was not so developed.

So the ancients slaughtered the cows, and when they saw the cows shed tears, they thought that this might be the manifestation of the gods, and the gods were telling them not to kill the cows.

So when seeing this phenomenon, the ancients would raise the cow that was about to be slaughtered.

There are also some people who think that it is a very cruel thing to slaughter cattle and eat beef, because cattle are alive.

But plants also have life. The vegetables grown by the farmer's uncle are bundled on the shelves of the supermarket, and eventually eaten.

But why does this situation become cruel to animals?

In fact, this is a rule in nature. The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. It is also an indispensable link in the biological chain.

Therefore, I hope everyone can maintain a correct understanding of eating meat. Even if you don’t eat beef and let these cows live, they will be eaten by other ferocious wild animals as they live in nature.

And by eating meat, we can also supplement our body with the nutritional protein and fat it needs.

But everyone must adhere to a certain bottom line when eating meat. Those meat that can be eaten by humans can be eaten with confidence, but the illegal consumption of wild animals or the protection of animals must be strictly rejected.
