Members oldtimer Posted March 17, 2012 Members Report Posted March 17, 2012 I am wondering if there has been some scientific research and studies on the subject: Can a cow feel happiness and What makes a cow happy and how can you tell ? Just a thought / Knut "The gun fight at the O.K. corral was actually started by two saddlemakers sitting around a bottle of whiskey talking about saddle fitting"...
Members DoubleC Posted March 17, 2012 Members Report Posted March 17, 2012 I am wondering if there has been some scientific research and studies on the subject: Can a cow feel happiness and What makes a cow happy and how can you tell ? Just a thought / Knut Knut, i think to research that you'd need something more objective and quantitative first. You could measure behaviors but that doesn't necessarily mean the cow was happy. It would even be hard to measure treatment/mistreatment. Are you mistreating a dairy cow if you're an hour late in milking? Does the cow feel mistreated? I was recently at a farm north of here for about a month, and if you hit the barn after 7:30, the cow, goats, minis, ducklings, horses, etc. were all hollering for breakfast. (well the baby ducks usually water). Were they unhappy? If I sleep late my dog does that...but she is so happy ACTING that she looks like she's smiling and singing most of the time. I just don't know what you would measure, I swear I don't. http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
