“I took care of animals like you take care of children.”

I took care of animals like you take care of children. When they disappeared, I cried. I cried when they were slaughtered. And when they were about to be slaughtered, I tied him by the horns until the boys came and I comforted him. Do you know that tears flowed from his eyes too? I comforted him and cried next to him. After that, I tied him to the pole and left, I turned on the TV so I wouldn’t hear. You feel sorry for the animal.
Some people who slaughtered their cattle didn’t eat. Out of pity, they didn’t eat the meat. I ate it, but… Only one I didn’t feel sorry for him. It was… alas, he destroyed all the people’s gardens. Under the fence, under the fence, there was a fence made of wire, he would break in, woe to me. Everyone said “Come! Get your bull!” Yes, he was beautiful! He would eat the best grass if he entered a person’s yard. He was the only one I didn’t feel sorry for. Everyone would come to my gate and say, “Hey, take him or we’ll stab him with a pitchfork.” And he was so handsome, the biggest one. When I was raising cows, he was the biggest one.
