The video has gone around the world. In Austria, a militant of the animal protection association, Aiderbichl, orchestrated the liberation of several cows who spent their entire lives chained up on a farm.

In this poignant sequence, viewed by over 22 million people, the activist extracts Bandit, a young, fearful bull, from the enclosure where he has been kept since birth.

The animal was able to, for the first time, walk and move around by himself; a pleasure as simple as it is essential from which he - like many cows all over the world - had always been deprived of.

The euphoria of Bandit was immediate: free from his chains, he started jumping and dancing, savoring each step. His indescribable joy is contagious:[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFO6LESkHDk[/embed]If the moving video warms your heart, a reminder that the beef industry is synonymous with hell for the hundreds of thousands of cows around the world who will never have the chance to leave their cages.
