Be aurochs, 10,000 BC Roam the steppes of Anatolia in vast herds Humans approach. Nervous. They don't kill you. They bring you grass. Something strange begins.
Be domesticated cattle, 8,000 BC Humans shelter you from wolves You provide milk for their children Partnership forms. Mutual. Ancient. Your kind spreads across every continent with theirs.
Be cattle, 3,000 BC Pull the plough that breaks the first agricultural soil Humans couldn't have done it without you Mesopotamia feeds thousands because of your shoulders Civilisation, technically, runs on ox power
Be cattle, Roman Empire Armies march on leather boots you provided Shields made from your hide Legions fed on your meat Rome, technically, runs on you
Be cattle, Medieval Britain The peasant's only source of winter protein Your tallow lights the candles they read by Your manure feeds the fields that feed everyone The feudal economy runs on you
Be cattle, 1800s Power the industrial revolution's early leather belts and drive shafts Provide the tallow that lubricates every machine Your bones make the fertiliser that feeds the growing cities The industrial world, technically, still runs on you
Be cattle, 1950s Scientists discover your organs saved millions during wartime Insulin extracted from your pancreas keeps diabetics alive Gelatin from your bones holds medicines together Modern healthcare, technically, runs on you too
Be cattle, 2026 The world decides your breath is a global threat The "solution" is a lab-grown burger in a plastic box The plastic is made from the oil that replaced your tallow The soil turns to dust because your hooves don't stir it The humans forget who pulled them out of the mud You aren't the engine of progress anymore; you're the exhaust.
Be confused.

Yeah, I saw this one earlier. I may be a nerd but I come from deep roots. Cows are important and all the bullshit about them "causing global warming" is all about dumb fuck liberals that have no fucking clue what they are talking about.
Some guy posted a thing about why you cant just use grazing land as farm land too. Morons think all land can be used the same, its magic. Games and TV told them so.

Cows are great. I love them on and off the dinner plate.
